So I found a nice sketch on another site about how to draw metal. So, I decided to try my hand at drawing it myself. What do you guys think? I need a bit of advice on what’s good and how I can improve :)

(mods I know the rules say no outside sites so I’m not sure if this counts ;n; sorry if not, I will remove it if needed)

What are you trying to go for?

I personally think it would be a good horn or something for a metal dragon but IDK that could just be me...

very cool /

as a 'soft color' digital artist ouo i prefer a grey outline rather than a dark color such as black. what i do is use the shades of one color to draw something like a pillow.

and some extra info abt shading n lightinG lul

i would also add some shading to make it have that 'pop' effect or just to make it a lil realistic uvu. when you do lighting, it doesnt just aim at one spot - e.g: a cd, it makes some weird reflection .

but the metal overall is greaT

@Outlaw to be honest, this weird horn is just what I used to test out the metal lighting and texture :)

@trashcan oh! Okay I do that sometimes too! Most of the time when I’m designing a character on tealea’s base I will do that, by making the lines a darker version of the dog. Ohhhhh sksksk I forgot that it’d reflect a bit ouo I will try that out next time

would you be okay with a paintover? i'm not spectacular at describing without visual aids how to improve upon textures but i think i might be able to help out if you were comfortable with it

@Beck

Yeah that’s fine, do whatever you want with it, it’s just a sketch!
