Again, very nice work with the coloring - I think you got the hang of that program or whatever you were using pretty quickly.
As for advice... well, what I'd do is mostly just personal preference, but I think that dragon would look really cool in some deep blue color (with a tint of green), with either white or light yellow claws and horns and stuff. Further, while I'm not sure what color I'd use, I'd probably give the sword some other color of its own. But that all depends on a darker coloring scheme.
In fact, I'm imagining this scene in some forest glade as I type, so I'd probably stick that kind of a background on it, too - then the sword would probably get a combination of greens and golds for its decoration, and at that point I'd definitely go with white for the dragon's claws and so forth. And of course, the lady would keep the pink/red dress for contrast.
But anyways, yeah, that's just me.

Awesome, thanks! I'll give some of that a try!
My original goal was to stick to colors in the pink/red/orange/yellow range, but I've been thinking of adding in some blue/green shadows.

Just make sure your experiments get saved to a separate file, in case you don't like it and want to go back to the first design.

Aw man, I forget to do that aaaall the time.

In fact, I just had another interesting idea for this pic - keep everything in the light colors like you have it here... and then do like a deep, solid blue (or green, maybe) for the girl's and the dragon's eyes to make 'em stand out. It'd have to be done just right, though... otherwise it might look wierd.
...And that just gave me yet another idea - girl in light pink dress with deep blue eyes, light blue dragon with deep red eyes.
Somebody stop me!

ooooo That could look really cool!
Though truthfully, I don't think I can spend too many hours on this. x_x I've been working on it for way too long.

The rest of reality is trying to catch up to you, huh?

What reality... I'm out of school for a month!
...
Yeah, I should really be getting stuff done right now. But it's nice to have time to draw. I just have a hard time spending so much time on one piece...
