You Amaze Me

I finally saw HTTYD2.
You know, I really do prefer the first movie but since I'm a sucker for pretty animated boys and older Hiccup definitely is one, I had to do some fan art of him now. And Toothless is just too cute, I had to try drawing him at least once. ;w;
This started out as a square enlargement drawing, which means I drew a grid on my reference pic, drew another grid on my canvas and with that I was able to get the proportions right, basically you could get every single detail perfectly placed if you have the diligence. But since I don't, I just erased the grid after drawing the outlines and then went artsy with Promarkers. Since I was only using gray markers I tried very hard to push myself and create lots of different textures with the limited palette. Heh, it's been a while since I've drawn anything bigger than A5 so this A4 sized pic took a few days to finish (on and off of course).
