DRAW THIS AGAIN - 5 Years Later - Redrawing an ICE DRAGON

[@kylemacarthur]

The original ice dragon video was the first video I saw of yours, what a full circle moment to see you recreate it 5 years later!

[@LethalChris1]

Oh wow, that's so awesome!! Thank you so much for the support, Kyle. :)

[@shiroholo2213]

The same for me =)

And now this Redraw is my first video I saw of him 😄

[@sajaam9422]

at this point we need a full art version of the red caped character

[@LethalChris1]

I agree! :) It would be fun to finally design this character and think about their story in this world.

[@jamesgoodwin5360]

Most definitely agree with this

[@whispro4646]

i agree with this

[@fuzzybooger8616]

This is the first video I’ve seen of yours And with my professional opinion i say yea s

[@cowfortress8686]

Absolutely love your fantasy artwork. You should design the red caped character, make a full drawing of him and stuff.

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much!! :) I really should. I've wanted to for such a long time.

I remember watching your old video the exact day it came out and now I see that you've improved tremendously over the years. Goodluck in the future and keep drawing for us all

[@paulalister80]

I remember watching the first dragon thinking wow awesome, this one blew me out of the water! So amazing and I love your caped knight. Ice dragon one of the few of his kind left in the world, his knowledge of healing is vast, he has the power to heal the land bring peace. However he has lost faith in man so hid himself away. One true knight has been on a quest to bring peace once more to his kingdom, unfortunately while out on his quest he was set upon his dragon raced to save him bringing him to the one healer, know the ice dragon has seen good in the world he is ready to step forth to bring healing one more to land that is bathed in the blood of man. Thanks for a great video Chris.

[@xeris7082]

I remember the Fantasy Art Fridays and I always loved your Dragon drawings, as I'm a big fan of dragons in general. Your drawings are so amazing and I'm very thankful that you recreate the beautiful old drawings that brought me to you in the first place and it's a great reminder of the time back then.

[@alexandersalisbury]

I like the first one better. I’m not saying it is objectively better or anything, I just like it more. Also, Chris if you’re reading this you’re abilities have been steadily improving for as long as I’ve watched your content and your art continues to amaze me. You’re constant growth as an artist is really inspiring and makes me want to work harder.

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much for the feedback and the awesome support! I really appreciate it. Wishing you lots of support with your art! Hope you have a great week! :)

[@lynwoodlewis6002]

You've definitely improved. You've added detail, depth and an interesting choice of color. I like that there seems to be some experimental aspects of your art as well.

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much for the feedback and support!! I definitely spend more time thinking about the process these days, trying to find different ways to approach the drawing. Thank you again! I really appreciate the kind words.

@@LethalChris1 wow it’s really nice to see a creator as big as you responding to so many comments! You’ve been a huge inspiration

[@Nonjola]

Maybe you can draw something with feathers next time. Maybe a gryphen, but this one has not the head of an eagle and the body of a lion, but some other animals. Maybe the head of a toucan and the body of a jaguar.

Awesome drawing idea, Erich. Thank you! :)

[@ricksanderbeck3958]

Awesome and amazing are understatements for how good these drawings are

[@dawngeorge7921]

Fabulous artwork! I think the red caped characters is collecting powers from the various dragons we see him with. I'd love to see a dragon done with coffee.

[@ravinefox8637]

I really love when people recreate their old artworks. It really shows how far we've all come

[@Wyldnight]

The redraw is amazing. I especially love how you differentiated between the upper and lower jaws with that bit of shading. It made it look so much more real, like the dragon could actually open his mouth.

[@maryss5022]

that red caped charecter is iconic. he needs his own backstory.... I think it's time you start a comic/ graphic novel!!! 10/10 would buy xx.

[@leonardogabeloni842]

Omg It's so awesome to watch this redraw and see that the essence of the first still on the second

[@efanalt1336]

i watched every single dragon video and ive been waiting for more and its been 5 years since they came out like... Whaaaaaaaat??

[@thebodyflicker4525]

When I see your ice dragon what comes to my mind is a dragon from a netflix series called "Dragon prince". Though he was a lightning dragon(and specifically the eldest but strongest of them all) their appearances are so much alike and I love it! Also, I think that you have not just improved but actually modify your draing style and I think that changes in our every day life are essential.

[@ahypixelnon266]

Your drawings make me want to come back to traditional art 😊(From Digital)

[@LethalChris1]

Haha awesome!! Now I really want to try a bit of digital art again.

[@carolinependleton8445]

Love them both,but yes the second one is so much more refined and detailed,great art.

[@spacebug8329]

If only I had that much patience to draw each scale lol. Amazing drawing as usual! 🎉

[@astralluke3622]

Awesome drawing! I was just rewatching all your dragon drawing They gave me much inspiration to draw myself, Thank you!

[@kagakudoragon]

A wonderful improvement! Cant believe its been 5 years since you drew the ice dragon!

[@andretalpo7990]

Incredibly nice progress, and very cool effect with the yellow! I believe this dragon uses the "head armor" to break ice walls and build his nest, maybe that's even more powerfull than his claws.

[@Folgershomebrew]

YAS! I love your dragon drawings the best! because of you I want to draw dragons again. Im jelly as to how good of an artist you are.

[@ehugirl8084]

I remember seeing the first dragon from 5 years ago, I can't believe I am seeing a redraw being here for that long!

[@guardianofkeeps1949]

Aww I missed these dragon designs so much. It's amazing seeing the difference between the two artworks, you've improved a lot. The variations in hue helped the piece stand out more rather than the solid blue tones.

[@SmarandaC]

It's a fantastic idea to try to redo some of your previous artwork. Seeing the progress encourages other people to keep practicing. You have grown so much in your skill and creativity! This piece is amazing! Great work.

[@erisisthename]

I remember watching the first ice dragon video. I can’t believe it’s been five years! I’ve so very much enjoyed watching your artistry grow and flourish. There are so many stories to be told in this picture. The picture just makes my mind race with all sorts of possibilities. An idea for another dragon perhaps? What about one that’s of nothing but spirit, or from an ethereal realm? You never cease to make me want to pick up my sketch pad and pens. I hope you’re having a fantastic week, Chris!

[@vivjin_9037]

I was 12 or 11 when I first saw this video, because of that, it inspired me to become an artist and draw more things, especially dragons. So, thank you for inspiring me to become better at art, have a good day!

[@Sid-nj1pk]

He draws so light in the beginning I can't even see it! I wish I could do that

[@LethalChris1]

Yep, the first part is very light! Haha. For these marker drawings I try to keep the lines easily erasable. A 2H pencil really helped me with this.

[@Emma-oo4vb]

Hello Chris, just wanted to say i really appreciate yout artwork! This ice dragon turned out to be so majestic and powerful looking in his ice cave. Recently I painted bird robin using your drawing as a reference. Thank You for inspiring others to draw and enjoy in the process. :)

It feels to me that the first ice dragon that you draw was more slim and fought with it's breath and other magical abilities but this one felt like more physical fighter because of it's more robust skull and armor like scales

[@LethalChris1]

I agree! The first one definitely has more fragile looking features, so I imagine it would be using ranged attacks. Thank you so much for the feedback. :)

The Return of the Red cape hero. Traveling through an unknown land he comes across a creature named Mordax. This dragon is guarding an ancient relic that has healing powers. Could be a good intro don’t you think. I really love that you’re adding more scenes with the characters you draw. The original is good I like the deep shadows and the structure. The redraw is interesting too and I like how you used more of a soft tone and added more pastel colors. It’s more a progression like the dragon has aged and his scales are changing colors. Anyway, love both drawings. Can’t to see another creation. Take care.

[@Dmania1000]

The advancements and improvements in technique, color selection and balance, composition, and confidence are clear and quite frankly, outstanding. If I may offer a single piece of critique to really take something like this to the next level, it would be to be a tad more confident in your darks. There are some areas of the image where the darks should be a bit darker or more pronounced (undercarriage, folds between highlight and edge lights, and connection/fold points of various appendages). Just making some of these darks pop a bit more, especially with such a light background would really make the image super powerful. Can't wait for the next 5 years of art!

[@johnshepherd6925]

Its beautiful. Not gonna lie though, I like the big scales on the front of the original dragon more. It just looks more rigid, which I think works well with the ice concept. Just my opinion though. Theyre both amazing!

[@miraxterrik]

I hope the red caped guy isn't going everywhere to slay these gorgeous dragons!
