Flute-Playing Dragon on a Cliff coloring page
There is a tiresome dragon on blowy crag, piper over vales and cloud-waves,--clean lines, big bulk, comfy details--just to color.
This is the peaceful colouring page depicting a good dragon sitting on the ledge of a stone cliff with a curled tail around his feet playing the thinner flute. Rounded horns and smooth, scalloped scales along the back helps maintain that cuteness rather than fierceness, and the broad wings fold in an easy to color format along its sides. There is a sweeping valley below the ledge leading into the distance and the layered hills, a ribbon like river and a couple of tiny pine trees to give perspective. There are puffy clouds of simple shapes floating through the sky and there is a crescent moon (or sun, of course) up above. Soft musical notes spread out within the gentle flute in simple plain lines you can color in bright or leave white. The rocks have the smooth faces of the light shading and a little breeze is offered through few motion lines that are curved around the scarf of the dragon. All the contents are contained in a slim, neat frame which makes the final page of output well-organized upon printing or presentation in its printed form.
Instructions about how to color (step by step)
We will choose a mood:
The warmth of sunset: coral, gold, lavender sky; mossy greens to be the hills.
Moon-lit serenity: cool blues, silver-grey rocks, hushed teal accents.
An underpainting to start: Lay down flat color on the body and wings of the dragon. The belly, inner side of the wings and snout are to be lighter in tone.
Soft shading: Use slightly darker shading pencil or marker that is the same color to deepen edges where the wings go over the body area, under the chin, and along the curled tail. Do not erase the small highlights of the snout and scales.
Scale texture: human hair woman Choose every third or fourth scale to darken a little bit- this builds pattern without working the page to death.
Cliff and rocks: Paint a foundation in light gray or tan; then darken the undersurface of rock edges and porches. Paint a cooler shade slightly darker green at the point where the rock and sky intersect.
Sky and distance: Have back hills a bit lighter and a bit bluer to give the depth to the atmosphere. Fade the sky light at the horizon to deeper color in the sky. Add a halo/mouse outline around the moon/ sun.
Flute & notes: Paint the flute as a shiny piece of wood colour (tan + light brown) or a metal piece (pale gray + very small white spots). Add some flare to the musical notes-see what it looks like with alternated rainbow jerking or metallic gel pens.
Minute particulars: paint the scarf in stripes or checks. Whisper some pastel color at the bottom of clouds. White gel pen or paper white to highlight sparkly highlights mysterious horns, claws and edges of wings.
