Coloring Tips

1. Start with the dark red base color of the dragon’s body, use dark red as the base, and then use black to lightly smudge the edges to create a three-dimensional effect.
2. When drawing the scales, first use a light color to outline the contours, then deepen the shadows under each scale, and finally use gold to embellish the reflections.
3. For the blood moon, first use orange-red as the base, then use dark red to gradually fade from the outside to the inside, and finally use white to highlight the highlights.
4. Use a thin layer of translucent red to apply a thin layer of paint on the wing membrane, leaving traces of brushstrokes to simulate the texture of the membrane.
5. After the overall work is completed, use white or light yellow to lightly highlight the reflections on the scales and edges of the wings to enhance the shimmer effect.

Fun Facts

1. Did you know? Dragons have different images in different cultures: Western dragons usually have wings and can breathe fire, while Eastern dragons are more like snakes and can fly in the clouds!
2. The blood moon is actually a total lunar eclipse phenomenon. When the moon completely enters the shadow of the earth, it will appear dark red. The ancients often believed that this was a bad omen.
3. The dragon’s scales are harder than steel in legends. In medieval knight stories, it is often said that only special weapons can pierce dragon scales.
4. Scientists have discovered fossils of an ancient flying reptile called “pterosaurs”. They have a wingspan of up to 10 meters, but they are not real dragons!
5. In nature, many animals (such as lizards and snakes) grow by shedding their skin. The dragons in fairy tales may also have borrowed this feature!
