The three heads remind me of Toothless but with teeth!
The poses are great.
I have just done my first digital art and posted it, so I don’t know anything much, but for me I would use a darker shadow right close in to under the feet. I think they call it occlusion shadow.
I just watched a video about Krita on Linux on an old laptop. What made you move to Linux?
The main computer I use is too old to update and it is not possible to upgrade due to PC build up, and I often experience unpleasant things when using windows 10/11 at work (such as blue screen, etc.). And I’m also in the curious phase of wanting to try other operating systems besides windows
sorry, I’ve fixed it now. My mistake was checking it while still using the admin account on YouTube so I didn’t realize it .
I’m at a loss for a name for each dragon, as I find it easier to describe them in works than to express them in words.
It’s open to suggest names for the dragons here (and for future dragons I upload).
@MangooSalade I moved to linux because of krita. NO LIE, krita runs the smoothest in a linux environment. hardly any crashes compare to a windows environment. now as for everything else in linux
I totally agree, more than 10 times I failed to make a timelapse video in krita while using windows because of crashes, corrupt files for no reason and sudden blackouts (in my place it happens often).
And I don’t experience that in Linux, even with a sudden blackout, the file is still safe and I can continue the drawing process until it is finished and the timelapse video can be made (without backup).
I have a 32 bit notebook that will only support an older version of Krita, and I noticed a significant difference when swapping to my desktop which is 64 bit and the latest version. Does 32 bit matter with Linux and Krita?
32-bit processors and computers are generally older and slower than 64-bit ones.
Also, newer versions of krita are less prone to crashing and locking up.
32 bit is pretty much phased out at this point in time. I’m not really sure if the latest version of Krita supports 32 bit… I don’t think it does. But just ahabgreybeard pointed out, the architecture of 64 bit is designed to be faster than 32 bit. so if you have software that can run in both, i.e., linux, the 64 bit version will still run faster.
Nice one! I like how you draw both the head and the whole dragon.
I noticed at one stage you were testing colours. I really miss the indexed palette in Aseprite where I can adjust a colour continuously throughout an image and stop when I get to the colour I want. Were you just repeatedly filling with a different colour or was it something else?
At that stage I usually use filter adjustments to change the color via default shortcuts like ctrl+u, ctrl+m, ctrl+l (and can be found manually in the filters tab > adjust > and select the one you need).
I will try to draw dragons regularly once every 1 or 2 days. I don’t know what dragons will appear in this topic, as long as my imagination can fly far away, there will be new dragons.
