Celestial Star Constellation Dragon coloring page
A tweety night-sky dragon composed of constellations- clean lines, broad shapes and glorious details ready to have magical coloring fun.
This magical coloring sheet is the image of a majestic dragon who is widely floating along a starry night sky and his/her surface is highlighted in nice rounded scales and studded in dots as stars. Easy to color sontellations featuring fine and simple lines are joined with chosen stars in the wings, neck, and tail of the dragon to create easy cleve’r slopped bodies. The background is a crescent moon, a planet with rings and some fluffy nebula clouds and twinkling bits know how to be sparkly. The horns and the belly plates of the dragon are rounded to resemble a friendly character and the wing membranes provide broad areas that are perfect to accommodate smooth gradients. The setting includes ample sky volume to practice glorious smushes--it is ideal pencil/marker town--but the main line work is clear and meaty enough that very young colorists would have no trouble. All of this is contained within a thin margin so your completed page will look tidy in the binder or frame.
Step by step colouring (how to)
Determine a space age color:
Midnight galaxy: deep navy, indigo, violet, notes of turquoise.
Aurora glow: teal, mint, lavender, soft pinks with faint accents of pale yellow.
Base colors: First start light on the dragon body and the wings so that you can add depth. Make the belly-plates a bit lighter in tone than the body.
Shade of form: Compress the extreme edges, at the chin, under the wing folds and where the tail crosses. Retain small white tips on snout and claws and edge of scales.
Constellational magic: Paint the star dots with the vivid yellow or white color. Follow the fine joining lines by a light silver/ gray. Use a small halo on big stars to have an effect of glow.
Wings and membranes: Graduate into the bone lighter tones to the edges of darker color. Wings appear to be lighted up by a mild transition (violet violet indigo navy).
Sky blend: work towards light towards the moon in darker towards the corner. Attempt a soft ombr or soft cloud puffs (nebulae) by circling ever so slightly brighter in some darker spots.
Celestial accents:
Moon and planet: leave pale with slight shading; put crisp white horizon on to give shine.
Comets: there is a soft tail fading on light core (yellow to orange or aqua to teal).
Sparkle & finish: Dot background micro-stars. Use last bits of highlights on the centers of stars and on eye glitter with white gel pen when you have one. Trace around the page once, combing a pure border ready to go on the wall.
