Photoshop painting tutorial for "The Taming of Naas" (pdf file)

In this interview with 2D Artist magazine, I explain the process I used to create this illustration for a French collective book on dragons. As a bonus, I included the very first rough sketches and the final image that I modified much later after the article, having noticed that the woman's hair was not being affected by the wind. Although the base sketch was done with a regular pencil, this is mostly a Photoshop tutorial, and this one is free! Enjoy!
