Drawing Ink Monsters is 10% Skill... and 90% LUCK!

People tend to not understand the ink monster process. #dailyinkmonster #dragon #dragonart #fantasyart #howtodraw

Ain’t luck dawg, that’s having vision, then talent, and finally skill for the execution. Your a straight up artist

[@Luke_Nuke]

So you are saying he is wrong and you know more than him?

[@HeterosexuaI]

​​@@Luke_Nuke i think he's just implying that "luck" is just him being humble since most of us can't create something as intricate even with the best luck. he just views it differently man, it's not a big deal. it's weird to get offended over a compliment you see somebody give somebody else online

[@eljefe8942]

yeah, but he had to force it and make the later ones look more like stereotypical dragons. the first one has a distinct character out of luck

[@eliasvonbrille]

Well the later ones are drawn around the Ink while the Ink in the first one literally perfectly hit the shape byitself. The later ones are mostly just cool drawings and less actual Ink drops. That's probably what he means. You can see on the first one that he didn't even alter the shape of the Head at all. You can draw anything around anything. But having it actually be the Dragons Head... That's special luck.

[@redpandamurphy]

To me, it looks like 10% luck, 20% skill, 15% concentrated power of will, 5% pleasure, 50% pain, and a 100% reason to remember the name.

Remember, there are more than one type of dragon. Ancient and young, forest and fire, from the heights of the snow capped peaks to the depths of the ancient abyss there be dragons.

[@funtime_error_]

And also body types, multiple legs or heads, wings or no wings, long or short body/limbs

[@Disqualified_Identity]

Wyvern, Faydragon, Basilisk, Hydra, Drake, Wyrm, Coatyl ...those are ones that come to mind. It's definitely not an exhausted list.

[@seal8900]

I’ve seen hundreds of interpretations of dragons. Sometimes I’ll see a dragon that controls the domain of time and has 100 legs. Sometimes a forest will have a dragon in every tree. Sometimes the essence and culture of a city will make a dragon. Dragons are everywhere. So many mythical creatures can be called dragons. Truly wherever you look, there be dragons.
