Description

About 7-8 hours of progress on Smaug today, the painting scares the bejesus out of me so started by blocking in the darkest areas to reinforce the forms in the drawing to get the process started. Pop can is just there for scale… that would just be bad idea normally… the painting is 36"x18"
