This artwork is an acrylic painting of Shenron, the dragon from the anime Dragon Ball. The dragon is made entirely of acrylic paint and sharpie. I used a black sharpie to outline everything and a bronze sharpie to highlight the shadows on the stomach. Behind the dragon is the fourth dragon ball, with a solid blue background. The green areas have a bit of colored pencil on them to add some texture.
I started with a sketch of the dragon in the general shape of what I wanted. Then I added details layer by layer. After the drawing was done, I put down a layer of paint. After the paint was dried, I used a green colored pencil and bronze sharpie to accentuate shadows and details, all followed by a black sharpie to outline every detail. I purposefully outlined every detail in order to make it look more comic book-esque. There really wasn't any inspiration for this artwork. Daryn just asked if I could make a painting for him. I knew he liked Dragon Ball, so I thought I would paint him a character from the show. After painting Shenron, the canvas still looked a bit blank, so I added a dragon ball behind Shenron. Then I just painted the background metallic blue to add some contrast to the entire piece. I mostly painted this piece just for it to be a nice gift for Daryn. Overall, I think this artwork was pretty successful. It's not super significant to me because there wasn't any inspiration, but I still am happy with it. Daryn was so happy with the final project that It made me proud of it. I like how it turned out. It is accurate to the original depiction and it just looks cool.
