New Project! Part 1 of 3: 'Resident Dragon' from 'The 7th Voyage of Sinbad!'

Hey everyone, Happy Sunday!

Starting in on a new project for this week, drawing inspiration to work out the Dragon from the fantastic film, 'The 7th Voyage of Sinbad'! from 1958, starring Kirwin Matthews, Kathryn Grant and Richard Eyer as the kid Genie. This is part 1 of 3, and this week we cover the basic sketch set-up for this acrylic painting.

Below is a pic of the finished sketch, ready to begin painting for next week:

And below here is a short gallery of the work in progress, starting with the source image and with a sneak peak at beginning grey-tones and black and white values.

Stay tuned for next week, where we render the whole painting in black and white. Good times! Until then, have a pleasant weekend and a safe week out there.
