Dragon Sitting on a Cliff coloring page
On this page of audacious colouring is a showy dragon on a precipice. It has simple grounds, lots of blank spaces and a grandiose pose that makes it ideal to do any creative colouring.
The colouring page is of a commanding dragon on a high cliff looking out on the scenery with a composed yet authority figure. The figure of the dragon is rendered in very clean, large strokes in producing big, easy-to-paint areas and also showing the detailed features like the scaled texture, wings, claws and the expressive face. Its tail just flows in the natural way on the rock, providing balance and movement to the picture. The background is purposely plain consisting of general sky area and minimal forms of the environment to gain attention on the dragon in addition to having a considerable space of creative use of colours. The composition can be used by kids and adults as it provides a good mix of detail and open space to enjoy by a beginner and an expert colorist. The page is quite imaginative and invites any vibrant or soft palette one may choose to make the dragon and cliffside place happen real.
How to Color
To give this scene a colour cast, the first colour that should be chosen as a main colour scale is the green colour, the red colour, and the blue colour and even the metallic colours like silver and bronze. Apply darker colours to the belly, wings and under the neck to add the deep part and the light ones to the head, spine and external edges so that the creature can be three-dimensional. In the case of the cliff, it should be earthy brown or grey, mixing these colours with darker colour where there are cracks and where shadows are found to make it appear more realistic. Use the background sparingly: it can be a gradient sky, light blues or sunset: it will not clash with the dragon. Although you would like something loud, paint out important features in a slightly dark tone in order to contrast. Add on final details such as glowing eyes, bright wing membranes or smallfine texture details to finish up a dramatic and dynamic coloration.
