Description The colored version of a request by the older of my two big brothers and his lovely Chinese wife to design a simple and cute dragon that is to be crocheted onto I think a vest for my half-Chinese nephew who is due any day now. My Chinese mother-in-law is really good at crocheting.

Line-art is drawn completely freehand because the pen tool is the worst thing since Illustrator (or vise-versa, whichever came first).

Line-art you can color: [link]

I draw dignified cuteness.

What a lovely idea for a newborn <3 it will be such a beautiful keep sake. It's wonderful that a couple of your family members are involved in the making as well. Perfect simple colours and appropriate the the orb is blue hehe.

I actually began line-arting with the pen tool as I didn't have a tablet, now that I've had one for quite some time I find free-handing much easier/faster anyways.

Thank you very much. Just have to see how well they like it now. ^^
Heh I didn't think about the pearl's coloring in that sense 'til you mentioned it. XD

So I'm not the only one who prefers freehand? Nice to know I'm not going crazy.

Ohhh it's a pearl. I was wondering for sure what it was when I noticed it

Haha, no not at all. Unless that makes two of us xD
