Coloring Tips

1. Dragon scale gradient technique: start with a dark color (such as dark green/dark red) to paint the bottom of the scales, gradually transition to a lighter color upwards, and use short strokes to imitate the scale texture.
2. Damaged wings: After using light gray as the base, use dark brown to draw irregular cracks on the damaged edges, leaving some blank space to show the sense of tearing.
3. The old effect of the stone pillar: first use light gray as the base, then use the side of a dark gray pencil to gently sweep out the stone pattern, and finally use brown to dot some moss spots.
4. The method of dotting the eyes of the dragon: use a dark red/gold gradient for the pupil, leaving a small white dot as a highlight, which immediately makes the dragon eye lifelike.
5. Shadow level technique: darken the shadow color at the contact point between the dragon body and the stone pillar, and use a cotton swab to lightly smudge to enhance the three-dimensional effect.

Fun Facts

1. Did you know? In Western legends, dragons are the only creatures that can breathe fire, and their “lighters” are actually a mixture of special chemicals in their bodies!
2. Archaeologists have found that many ancient civilizations have dragon myths. For example, Chinese dragons symbolize good luck, while European dragons often guard treasures.
3. Do dragon wings look like bats? Scientists believe that if dragons really exist, their wing structure should be very similar to that of bats, so that they can support their huge bodies to fly.
4. Those broken stone pillars tell us: no matter how solid a building is, it will be defeated by time, but stories and legends can be passed down forever!
5. Dragons are called “dragon” in English. This word comes from ancient Greek, meaning “sharp-eyed”, because it is said that dragons’ eyes can see through everything.
