Description It occurred to me that for all the baby dragons I draw, I haven't yet drawn a hatchling. Not that that's how my artworks come about- they pop into my head fully-formed and ready for me to translate them to the page. This one was fun, though I had ALL sorts of trouble with my scanner, which practically inverted the colours, and then Photoshop to try and get it back to the original colours. I'm still not 100% happy with it but I'm not sure what else I can do :S

Teehee I'm glad you like him! The background is a mix of dark tea and watercolour and the dragon is all watercolour.

Ahhh tea! That was my next guess ^^ I'm going to be bold and try painting with a new and scary [and STINKY] medium soon... henna! should be interesting

Ooh wow, that would be cool! My only problem with tea is trying not to drink it after I've dipped my paint-loaded brushes into it!

OMG me too but in an opposite way... the amount of times lately I've had to stop with my brush like, millimetres from my *drinking* tea O_O the horror the horror

kirstinmills In reply to Meggyb [2008-05-26 23:46:02 +0000 UTC]

haha I sometimes get to the end of a painting and wonder why I suddenly have 3 glasses of murky rinsing water instead of two...and then the sinking feeling and the quickly trying to remember when I last drank from that third glass!

Meggyb In reply to kirstinmills [2008-05-27 10:49:49 +0000 UTC]

omg lol. My mum was notorious for that. once she was washing up after NYE and she put some detergent in a wine glass that was on the draining board, next to her wine glass that still had some wine in it. long story short she ended up coughing bubbles for the next eight hours *giggles*

Innocent-Insanity In reply to kirstinmills [2008-05-21 22:14:11 +0000 UTC]

He'd be soooo cute! How big would he be? What does he eaaat? Would he scare the kitties or would he play with them?

kirstinmills In reply to Innocent-Insanity [2008-05-22 09:41:09 +0000 UTC]

Only very small...would fit snugly in your hand. He eats tasty but crunchy things at the moment like grass hoppers or crickets, but may be inclined to snap playfully at a kitty's tail if it got too close He just wants friends and some love in this big wide world.
