I love the colors! Kudos for using mixed media.
If I may suggest a colored pencil tip for the future: If you don't like the grainy texture seen in the red on the dragon, you can take white (or any color for that matter) and blend it together making it really smooth and shiny. Don't be afraid to layer on colored pencil :3
Looks great! Love the pose.

The graininess isn't such an eye sore in real life. My scanner scans at 600 DPI, so it scans every little detail. I actually have blending sticks that I use quite frequently for many of my other traditional pieces, I just opted to use them on this since it is such a small drawing in real life. I'm afraid it'd take away some of the details.

Beautiful work! It's hard to achieve smoothness/softness with colored pencils.
