Description The last page of my last sketchbook from college! Tears ;.; This is a piece of gift art I did for Raveness in 2007 before Pokemon stole my soul. She is such a pretty dragon with such a musical spirit that seems rather evanescent to me. I tried to capture this with the wispy clouds and the heavy wing strokes. I find black dragons hard to color, this was good practice for me.

I hope you like it, Raveness! It was certainly a pleasure to draw!

i loves it!

opinions/Critique:
the middle of the front wing draws the eye and leads it down the tail. and the upper part of the body is kind of lost due to the dark coloring. might embolden the color of the eye.

other then that it is very well detailed and very beautiful.

Wow, I love the wispy softness of the clouds and the way you drew the scales and shaded the wings and the head blades. Black is a very challenging color to use and not lose detail with anything besides water color.

This literally made me whisper wow out loud. Great job.

::laughs:: thank you! Black and purple are a great color combo, methinks. This piece was done entirely in colored pencils (mix of Prismacolor and Crayola). I used the black colored pencil of either one of those two brands, I can't remember which. Probably Crayola since I burn through black, and I'm cheap XD
