Happy Accidents...


...And the Shadow Dragon lives!




While I appreciate digital art, I seldom find myself able to make such things with my computer. I do have a few digital pieces under my belt now, including one very professional logo for my Aiki Jitsu instructors system. However, yesterday while uploading a photo of my recent graphite drawing of an oriental style dragon, I decided to invert the values to check my shading, and to be sure it still looked right. I was completely blown away with what popped onto my computer screen! My daughter, who was sifting through years of uncatalogued photos in my filing cabinet drawer, told me in excitement that I should post the newly discovered version to my Deviant Art site. Happily, I did, and with great success I've had more views on it in one day than I have on many of my original pieces that have been on that site for years! LOL....

Just goes to show what a little dumb luck and a good drawing with strong values can do.
