Coloring Tips

1. Paint the base color first and then draw the details: First use a light color to base the overall outline of the dragon, and then gradually add dark scale details, so that it is easier to control the overall tone 2. Paint by area: Divide the complex knot pattern into small areas and complete them one by one to avoid dazzling 3. Use a fine-tip pen to outline: Use a fine-tip colored pen or marker to outline the edge of the knot pattern to make the pattern clearer and more three-dimensional 4. Wing gradient technique: Paint from the edge of the wing membrane to the skeleton, with a natural transition from dark to light to enhance the three-dimensional effect 5. Keep the same direction: Keep the brushstrokes in the same direction when painting all the scales to make the texture look more neat and beautiful

Fun Facts

1. Celtic knot art: These interwoven patterns are characteristic of Celtic culture and symbolize the eternal cycle of life, with no beginning and no end. 2. The wings of a dragon: While Western dragons are often depicted with wings, Eastern dragons are mostly wingless yet able to fly, an interesting distinction between dragons in the two cultures. 3. Protection by scales: Dragon scales are like a knight’s armor, which in legends protects against weapon attacks, just as pangolins in reality use their scales to protect themselves. 4. Coiled posture: The coiled shape of a dragon may have been inspired by the defensive posture of a snake, with many animals coiling up to protect themselves when they feel threatened. 5. Cultural symbolism: In Celtic mythology, dragons represent strength and wisdom, while in traditional Chinese culture, dragons are a symbol of good fortune and luck.
