Digital Art_2019_Dragon Callia Hi friends! I've a new sponsor - Ellen.he Dragon lover, which I am very happy about https://read.cash/@Ellen.he And today i'll show... right, another one Dragon! One day I, together with several WLS-users, wrote a joint fairy tale about the Dragon named Callia. I tried to see how a main character look like. And I wanted to draw her. I saw her in my thoughts just about...

Sketch. I wanted to draw a dynamic dragon figure that is going to fly from top of rock.

I draw in Sketchbook Pro. For this picture I make a my own brush set to draw comfortably.

I started working against my usual method of choosing a color palette for the character. For work, I took a contrasting color scheme to create an expressive story of art. And I wanted the Dragon to stand out from the background, but at the same time blend harmoniously into it.

Yes, I'll have a red background

I changed the shade of the wings to a warmer green and started working on the environment.

Changed the gradient for the background to a more saturated one to highlight the character (*opening a file in Photoshop and returned in Sketchbook Pro for continue drawing*)

Working with details

I make a background more interesting by smearing the light area

Add a texture & transparency on wings membranes on new layer

Claws

Then I return in **Photoshop** & make a skin texture more interesting (with **Layer Style** option)

And yes... On fairy-tale Callia has a two pair wings!

Color correction one more (add a contrast) And it's ready art!

It's another my Dragon from dragon's drawing series Thanks a lot for your attention and donation! Regards
