Thanks, BDW. My black drawing pens are all dry and used up, and I haven’t managed to completely befriend Mom’s Rotrings yet, so yesterday I switched mediums.
Gouache and watercolor really aren’t my thing. I much prefer itty bitty details, not spontaneous swooshes of color. This was basically a sketch for me, to determine the headdress on a female Paradise Dragons (one of my breeds). Then seen as how I had a lovely set of gouache colors sitting unused and unopened in my drawer, I decided to try them out.
The picture is quite vibrant, not pastel. Blame the scanner for the color change.
That’s very kind of you, twindragonsmum. With this kind of encouragement I might actually make something good with gouache someday. 😆
I have no problem with encouraging people 😀 I’d like to see more from you…

Why, thank you all! Now I’m looking forward to getting out the gouache again tomorrow, since it’s going to be a snow day. 😀
Copied from DA:
“This axiom is evidently not applicable to other dragons.
Vin was having a comfortable nap in Orman’s stables until a moment ago, when Gem made an appearance. Gem is Lamar’s little pet and Vin’s little pest. Luckily, Vin’s antagonism towards isn’t so great as to tempt him to swallow her whole.This is a photograph of the watercolor, since the scanner would eat and pale all the colors. It’s a practice piece and not so special; you get the idea.” The paper is a bit larger than A4; it was my weekend project because it snowed both days, nearly non-stop. I took the photo with no flash to better depict the color, and in doing so sacrificed the details. Oh well.
So you know the scale in the picture, Gem is the size of a barn cat.
