Tips from your teacher
How to color scales, wings and magical light.
Work on the large areas of color first and add texture at the end. This preserves the dragon’s form and keeps it from becoming a collection of disconnected details.
Build the form
Apply a gentle base and darken the underside of the neck, belly, legs and areas facing away from the light.
Separate scales and membranes
Use one color family for the body and a lighter, cooler or warmer one for the wings and belly.
Add the magic at the end
Strengthen eyes, fire, crystals or reflections with the most intense contrast to draw attention to the focal point.
Colors with personality
Three palettes for elemental dragons.
Color can tell us where your creature comes from, what power it has and whether it is friendly, ancient or dangerous.
Embers and lava
Warm yellow, orange, deep red and dark brown for heat, inner light and charred areas.
Frost and crystal
Pale blue, turquoise, cool violet and deep blue for icy highlights and transparent shadows.
Moss and nature
Yellow-green, olive, forest green and brown for an ancient creature covered in leaves and earth.
An organized process
Color from large shapes down to the details.
This sequence keeps scales and decorations from obscuring the direction of the light and the unity of the illustration.
Apply a light layer to unify the entire creature.
Darken the belly, joints, neck and areas beneath the wings.
Add variations in texture without coloring every detail at the same intensity.
Reserve the strongest contrast for the face, fire or elemental power.
