I started this drawing in 2024. The characters are vaguely representative of the human and dragon couple in a short story published online years ago.

The reference model for the guy on the left was a Barbie(TM) doll. The result was uncomfortably stiff. I've since looked through magazines and felt around my own head.

Today, I realized the ear, eye, and hair made a difference in feeling plastic versus organic.

This version is better.

Update, July 3rd: Help me. I can't tell if anything at this stage is good.

Update, July 4th: Now it's better again.

I'm going to take clearer photos tomorrow.
