Join the club!! Best club to be in.

It's pretty small but there's like.. Three of them on the same street? Super narrow aisles so it's PACKED from floor to ceiling - the fruit extends out into the street in crates and boxes and is all open air - bit like a mix being a shop and a market.
Had to look up kumara, but it has piles and piles of sweet potato LMAO - like three different colours too!

Oh god damn, that is impressive. I've heard of that before but I'm still so curious about how it tastes LMAO

The street is pretty central, so we have a lot of international shops. A lotta different cultures packed in here, hence all the exotic fruits! :0

Wait really? o.o
Kumara in slovenian is cucumber o.o
Because Kumara is maori for red potato I think
Not sure what the english word is but it's like native red potato or something >.>

That's absolutely crazy for a fruit and vege shop :o
Is it like small-ish or a really big one? Because well it's already extremely surprising that it has all these fruits for that price
(as long as it doesn't sell kumara)

Durians are banned in a lot of places because they are heavy and the shell is versatile enough to knock someone out lol
plus it stinks to hell and back, like literally the stench is crazy
You always know when a store has durian because of the stench lol

I've never tried durian! :0 it's definitely on the list for things to try at some point.

Literally it has SO much and at a really good price. Can literally get two avocados for £1.
It's also got,, omg what's it called.
The long radishes, cassava, plantain. Literally anything you could ask for, honestly.

Mirko
Y'know what, you're right. And everyone should be excited by fruit

Use references photos of snakes, lizards, and other scaled animals. Look at how they change in a curve, twist, etc.

You can also draw a line down the middle of whatever your drawing, curving it where you need to, to help give a sense of how the scales need to change.

So I've been drawing some reptilian/dragon pieces recently, and I keep tripping up on the scales. They're so difficult! I can't get them to align well with whatever I'm drawing (like curve where there's a curve), so it looks unnatural, straight, and strange. Does anyone have tips on this? Would laying down each scale individually be worth it, or end up messy? (I make one scale then clone it to make a row, a square, etc.) How do you draw your scales? I tried warping and liquify, but I'm still struggling.

Thanks in advance! :)

Ooof! I can see your problem. Scales are super hard for me too. I've tried doing each individual scale bit it does end up rather messy.

@Tauriel
Yeah :,) Like why must they be so hard? XD

I see how that can get messy...
Hmmm

@Pitbull
I'll give that a try next time!

I'd also advise not trying to do the whole animal in one sitting. For me, I get pretty tired and halfway through the scales stop looking quite as sharp and even and start getting a bit messy, so I like to take a break for a bit, resharpen my pencil (if that's what you're using), and then sit back down to work on it when I'm ready. c:

@Maraud

I hear that XD There's many times where I just need a break from doing scales. They can get stressful.

May I ask how you draw your scales? I make mine digitally though.

Sometimes I only draw some of the scales. Drawing all of them is too hard

I just put em where the joints bend, and the edges of the scales poke out. That works as well

I like that idea! Definitely easier XD

What do you do in any area you don't draw scales? As in do you blend colors or leave it flat? Or something XD
