I had this kind of thoughts while making this: “I want to draw a green dragon... Aaand now it’s in the field. I don’t like crass I want something else. Flowers maybe, but which flowers crow as a field? Tulips, tulips are good. And trees with new leafs to the background, it’s supposed to be spring. Some butterflies and something a bit special for the sky.”

And that’s how this painting/drawing came to being. I started it with a proper pencils sketch (on a separate paper) which made this easy to work with. The base is done with watercolours, then there is a bunch of stuff on top of it: colour pencils on the sky, flowers and trees, graphite pencil for some outlines, black fineliners for the dragon and white ink in the sun and sky.

I really like the dragons fur but the front legs are major issue for me. I think they would have looked better if I had drawn them completely visible, but then the dragon couldn’t be in a field. The flowers were pain to do but they turned out nicely. I left them without much detail so that they wouldn’t compete with the dragon (and I couldn’t figure out what else to add to them). The field in the distance are supposed to be covered in tulips but they rather look like they would have been made of cotton candy. Swirl in the sky are nice.
