Dragonshadow, it's all in the inks! I'd never be able to get things to stand out if it weren't for using inks.
Cloudy it took me forever to find the colors LOL. I kept being drawn towards pinks and yellows and light greens, but they are all warm colors to me. So I had to keep it "cold" so to speak. That seagreen I'm not all that thrilled with, wish it was brighter, but it's all I had green-wise that didn't look like a warm color. Red dragon will be much easier!
First though, the silly big head LOL.
