Coloring Tips

1. Scale gradient technique: first use light green as the base for leaf-shaped scales, then use dark green to gradually fade from the edge of the scales to the inside, and finally use yellow to embellish the tip of the scales to create a natural light and shadow effect.
2. Tree texture processing: use a brown marker to first draw the main lines of the trunk, then fill it with light brown, and finally use dark brown to deepen the shadow part to make the ancient tree more three-dimensional.
3. Wing layer painting method: paint from the base of the wings to the outside, from dark to light, pay attention to retaining the translucent feeling of the wing membrane, and can be lightly smudged with light gray or lavender.
4. Environmental color echo: add the brown of the surrounding trees and the cyan of the moss to the dragon’s scales to allow the creature to better integrate into the forest environment.
5. Detail embellishment: use gold or copper to embellish the dragon’s eyes and some protruding scale edges to increase the sense of mystery, but be careful not to overuse it.
