Awesome tutorial! I was always terrible at 2 things... scales and shading (Especially with digital media). With tutorials I can get to around part 3 or 4, but once a lot of color or shading is used I always get stuck.
Your work is amasingly realistic and helpful! (although I don't think I'll be able to shade like this for a while.)
For the neck how many shades of blue did you use?

Draconigenae666 In reply to rujiidragon [2012-04-01 21:39:42 +0000 UTC]

Um I generally use about 2 - 3 shades below and above the base so something like 5 - 7 total?

isn't that more of a crest tutorial?

Draconigenae666 In reply to WolfsRainOkami [2010-12-11 06:14:43 +0000 UTC]

how do you mean? wouldn't a crest be something on the back of a neck, not the body of the neck? this tutorial shows how i made scales at the time of it's creation... the location was just coincidence.

not bad! though, i think you overlined the shadowed parts for the scales.

keep up the practise!
