Description Whoa, I haven't updated with a real piece of dragony goodness in a while! Did this just to draw glittery scales, it wasn't very tedious as one would think. I find that drawing scales at random with varying sizes makes for a much more natural looking dragon, and the scales don't cover the whole body, and I think that helps too.

The backround has some glaring mistakes to it, but atleast there's a backround! I wish school didn't swallow up most of my time, I miss drawing for the heck of it.

Thank you very much! It is one of my favorites. I haven't drawn anything very draconic in a while, perhaps I'll pick it up again.

Colored pencils FTW. Nice work on the scales, and i like the color scheme too. Such a nice picture. I like the background, the stonesare well done.

Its nice to see a picture made with coloured pencils again!
Maybe I'd point out that the perspective on the BG could use some work.... Or well, the dragon and person is in different perspective than the BG, that's how I'd say it.
Still, you did a great work on the scales, especially on those bluish-shiny ones. There are some missing shadows and whatnot, but the general appearance is very nice!

Dragons are often bearers of great knowledge. And all dragons doesn't need to be homicidal firebreathing man slaughters.

Very nice!

Aye, they are quite admirable creatures. My dragons are often very friendly and kind, and quite willing to share what they know.
