Drawing a Fantasy Dragon Video by Bryan Collins

It's been a while, but I've just released a new video where I show you the progress of drawing the book cover art for my third novel, Reckless Endeavor. In the video I also share a few tips for making art full-time. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and questions for future videos. Check it out at https://youtu.be/SfelBzuutRs?feature=shared

Reckless Endeavor (A Tale From Tiltwater 3) Cover Art

 

The wait is almost over! Reckless Endeavor, the third book in the Tale From Tiltwater series, is finished and off to printing, with the eBook release happening March 8th, which is opening day of Collective Con in Jacksonville. God willing, the paperbacks will also be available that same weekend at the convention.

This installment completes the story (for now) and has twists and turns and events more bizarre that I had anticipated. Your reviews and comments about Sewn Together and Fallen Elder have been beyond anything I could hope for, and I believe Reckless Endeavor will not let you down.

If you can't make it to Collective Con, you can pre-order Reckless Endeavor now at UseEveryColor.com

God bless,

Korean Dragon Ink Drawing

Even though "use every color" is my website and general motto for art, I still love black and white art, and some of my favorite artist work exclusively in ink. As a color artist, I find ink art a great exercise in contrast, which helps train the eye to put the right colors next to each other to achieve dramatic results with high-color pieces.

This Korean Dragon is my latest ink drawing. Why is it a Korean Dragon versus Chinese or Japanese? It's the four toes. Chinese dragons have five toes, and Japanese have four.

The original work is 5"x10" paper, mounted to 8.5"x11" gray matboard which I painted with black watercolor. The original has been listed on my site as useeverycolor.com

God bless,
Bryan
