During the coloring process, you can also learn some knowledge about geometric shapes and light refraction, and cultivate your artistic aesthetic ability. Pick up the paintbrush and let this crystal dragon come alive with your creativity!

Coloring Tips

1. Apply a light base color first: Use light blue or light purple as the base for the scales to leave space for highlights for the subsequent overlay of dark colors. 2. Faceted coloring technique: Treat each scale as an independent small plane, and use different shades of the same color to distinguish the cut surface. 3. Highlight treatment: Leave white space or use white/silver to embellish the most prominent corners of the scales to enhance the three-dimensional effect. 4. Gradient transition: Use a blue-purple gradient on the edge of the wings, naturally transitioning from the dark root to the light color of the wing tip. 5. Glitter embellishment: Finally, use a pearl pen or glitter to dot the center of some scales to create a “shining” effect.

Fun Facts

1. Did you know? The multi-faceted scales of the crystal dragon are inspired by diamond cutting, which allows light to refract in more colors, just like a beautiful rainbow! 2. In nature, some butterflies have wings with structures similar to crystal scales, which can reflect sunlight to create a glittering effect. This phenomenon is called “structural color.” 3. Dragons have different images in different cultures: Chinese dragons usually have no wings but can fly in the clouds, while Western dragons mostly have wings, like the crystal dragon on this coloring card! 4. Crystal is very hard, ranking 7th on the Mohs hardness scale, which is harder than steel! So the scales of the crystal dragon must be very strong. 5. Did you know? Although real dragons do not exist, there is a kind of lizard called “flying lizard” that can glide between trees. When they spread their membranes, they look like little dragons flying!
