Description Last one of the year - just finished it ...

This painting was commissioned by mary_j_59 on LJ. It's an illustration for her children's novel-in-progress. Not sure how much I can disclose about it...



Media: Staedtler pens, Winsor & Newton watercolours and a little bit of white gouache on Hot-Pressed Arches (my favourite).

Wow, this has such a beautiful classic children's illustration feel. I especially love that dragon.

Thank you so much!

I don't have a natural flair with colours, so I did my best to think this one through . I feel much more at ease with lines...

you're very welcome! You did great work here.
Well you know, everyone has their difficulties. But the best thing is to try it! And I have to say that you did an incredible job on both on this picture.

I like this one and the title! Very appropriate that you post it now since 2012 will be the Year of the Dragon! Wishing you a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year!

Happy New Year!

LOL, I didn't know 2012 is the Year of the Dragon... But maybe I shouldn't admit that . The idea of drawing a dragon did rather scare me at first, as did the idea of combining four characters on a page, but I'm really happy with how it turned out .
