Mystical Project #2

Working as hard as I can. Trying to get some kind of visual. All in all it's fun.


I tried blending pinks, purples, and blues along with sun yellows in the sky. I also started forming the mountains in the background. I wanted to bring them to life with different shadows and burnt siennas. This is a work in progress. The dragon took shape with a green outline in the wing sections and firey orange and yellows for the fire. I started basic skin tones on my soldier and the maiden.
To make the dragon pop, I incorporated some black behind him to produce a deep shadow. I traced him with a black sharpie. I used a flesh toned sharpie to the snout section and the knee portion of the dragon. Mind you, a fine sharpie created the scales on the legs.


I used a sepia oil pastel crayon to darken the snout and the scales on the knees. When I think of mystical creatures, the colors green and blue come to mind. They seem to bring a subject to life. So, I delved as much green and blue as I can get to blend to color in the wings. The neck is being enhanced with a gold oil pastel. The belly is heading down the purple and blue route. While you're looking...what does your dragon look like?

Okay. I am stumped. I will stand back and see what other dimensions to include.
