Dragon Appreciation...

Appreciate A Dragon Day is coming up (Jan 16th) so I have done some quick pencil drawings in preparation - before the 16th I will touch these up digitally and make them look nicer and give them their own posts, but I thought a nice work in progress post may be fun.

Usually I draw in pencil then colour digitally, this was an attempt at colouring with pencil first... I think they will need a digital touchup as the colours aren't quite what I am looking for (Spyro especially looks greyish black rather than purple), but it was useful to experiment with coloured-pencil-and-scanner, I think the scanner adds too much contrast to the colours here...

Anyway, some Spyro, Falcor, Saphira, Toothless, Stormfly and Horrorcow doodles for your dash!

Happy appreciate a dragon day! Thank you very much for always reblogging dragonposts for us dragon to dragonreblog!

Hell Yeah!! We’re full of Dragons and Dragon lovers and even some Dragon haters (yes they’re real, these people actually exist)

I hope you have a great Jan 16th as well! Thanks for the ask! And don’t worry, we’ll be here with more Dragons to come

🐲 It's Jan 16, Dragon Appreciation Day!

🐉 It's January 16th. On this day in 2004, American author Donita K. Paul created "Appreciate a Dragon Day" to celebrate the release of her book "DragonSpell." Amazingly, from such a humble beginning, it's caught on not only all over America, but all over the world! Commemorated every year now, Appreciate a Dragon Day is marked by activities at children's museums and libraries to celebrate literacy and honor some of our beloved dragons in books and movies.

Most of you have a favorite dragon, whether you realize it or not. If you think about it, you're bound to come up with Puff, Mushu, Smaug, Norbert, Falkor, Toothless, Elliott, one of the three "Game of Thrones" dragons – Drogon, Rhaegal, or Viserion – or whomever. Today's a great day to share your favorite dragon with children – and learn about theirs – isn’t it?

Dragons are mythical creatures (except for the Komodo and Bearded Dragons, which are really lizards and not dragons at all) that resemble lizards with bat wings. They're often depicted as able to breathe fire and have large claws they slash their opponents with. Some dragons are depicted as having multiple heads. The word "dragon" comes from the Greek word "drakon" which means giant sea serpent. In the West, dragons are typically depicted as evil creatures. In East Asia, dragons are depicted in a positive light.

Why do dragons appear in almost every culture of the planet? It seems impossible we'll ever know for sure, but classical folklorist and ancient-science historian Adrienne Mayor hypothesizes that dragon stories may have been inspired by dinosaur and pterosaur fossil discoveries. In fact, to this day in China, dinosaur fossils are referred to as "dragon bones." Have fun learning about dragons today if you can make the time. ☮️ Peace… Jamiese
