Consider the pose carefully; a dynamic pose can convey power and motion, adding to the wyvern’s mythical aura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Outlining and Detailing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Outline your sketch with a fine liner, refining the shape of the wyvern and defining key features such as the head, wings, and claws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use varying line weights to add depth and interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Texturing and Shading<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Employ a mix of hatching, stippling, and smooth shading to create the textures of the wyvern’s skin, scales, and feathers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pay attention to the direction of light to accurately shade the body and wings, giving your wyvern a three-dimensional appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Background and Atmosphere<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Adding a background can place your wyvern in a mythical setting, whether it’s soaring in the sky or perched atop a rocky crag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use lighter lines and shading to create atmospheric perspective, making your wyvern stand out as the focal point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
