Dragon from Mars

Greg:

As you can see, the link you sent me did the trick.  Here is my effort at the Dragon.  Drawing from an earlier lesson, I used the foam in the upper right side of the picture as my neutral.  I used a gray from the concrete on the left side of the dragon first, but didn't like what it did to the color of the dragon.  The foam I thought did a pretty good job.

Brian,

You need to find a point on the dragon where he seems to be fairly neutral not perfect but semi normal...Ctrl click this point not a neutral setting just a pinned control point on the curve.  This is where the rotation happens.  It should help keep the dragon the right color.

You need not set a neutral on this one...

Hi Greg:

This is my second try at it.

Thanks,

Nice color....

The issue I see is the reds look like they might be blocked up with loss of detail.
If not and it is JPG artifact then you have done it right...If your Reds look smudged and have lost detail then you need to back off a bit...
