A quick coloring practice tip I made for Patreon

Some of the best writing advice I ever got was if you’re stuck on a scene or a line, the problem is actually about 10 lines back and that’s saved me from writer’s block so many times.

Hello, I have discovered that paint swatches are a stupidly fun surface medium for colored pencil. I brought a big bag over to @gallusrostromegalus’ house and now we’re doodling.

Give!! Me!! More!! Dragons!! In!! Shawls!!

I had this idea that some dragon tribes share the tradition of wearing wedding shawls, humongous elegant shawls either hand made by the mother-in-law of the betrothed for more poor class dragons, or and handed down over generations and crafted by ancients or animus for the royal families.

Above is displayed a smaller, less intricate and somewhat poor class shawl crafted by a skywing mother-in-law for her young daughter.  The silk that Skywings use is expensive and imported, so only royal families can afford to have shawls that stretch over their wings, back, and trail behind them in some cases.  

Only the upper class Icewings have a few beautiful shawls stored away for royal weddings, an ancient gift from an animus dragon which are said to give the gift of fertility to those who wear it during their vows.

Rainwings hand craft their shawls from vines to form narrow and small but elegant drapings entwined with beautiful rainforest flowers and leaves.  The male often will present a shawl that he hand crafted to his mate as proposal.

Queen Coral wore a shawl on her wedding night to Gill, though it is not a tradition in the seawing kingdom.

Nightwings, Mudwings, and Sandwings don’t partake in this tradition, each for their own reason.

LOVE this

In the old days, the three moons were loved and revered as deities by all NightWings, but only moonborn dragons who received the gift of mind reading, prophecy, or both were able to experience the intense feelings of overwhelming joy, exhilaration, and peace that radiated off a full moon. This is why they started holding full-moon festivals–- so that the moon-gifted dragons could expend their carnal, raw energy in the form of dancing or sparring to avoid being driven half wild with the intoxicating power of the moons. Blowing smoke at whichever moons were full during these festivals was considered a show of deep respect and gratitude for the generous gifts that were bestowed onto the moonborn dragons at their hatching. After the abrupt disappearance of the NightWing tribe, the full-moon festivals were adopted by the SandWings and the tradition lived on. Two thousand years later, unable to sleep with the wild humming energy of two moons running through her veins, Moonwatcher has a full-moon festival of her own, alone and in secret.* 

*this is all headcanon I just wanted an excuse to draw Moon blowing smoke

Reblog to save a life

[whycantidraw]

Hey artists, C. Spike Trotman, founder of Iron Circus Comics, just posted an invaluable thread on depicting different types of black hair. I’d do the thing where you screencap the whole thread and post it but it’s just too long (which is great because it’s a whole lot of useful information!) Give her a follow while you’re there.

Anyway, go check it out. I just wanted to save it and share it because I didn’t know how much I didn’t know!
