I drew my heraldic dragon. Isn't she sweet?

OMG why is that so cute🥺?

@zzz Slugabed dragon.

@Zarif-Bin-Kaiser Yes, it's the Slugabed dragon. I called her my heraldic dragon because she's my avatar image.

I realized that the strong contrasts and darkness of the charcoal doesn't do justice to such a fragile beast, so I did her again, in soft pastels. And yes, I changed the colours. I'm not very fond of the combination of turquoise and pink so I tried something different.

Happy New Year, Dragon City!

Slugabed dreams...

lol That is cute.

You are a pretty good artist

Sluggy one-line drawing, my first try with that technique and a little bit wobbly.

Thanks, @Aidan-Drysdale, I love to hear that!

@zzz She (the dragon) looks like she's crying.

Why yes, you're right! Or at least she doesn't look happy, rather like she's frowning. Thanks for pointing that out!
I think I shouldn't have included the highlights in her eyes in my drawing, that creates the impression that she's looking skyward.
But since I did the drawing with Ibis Paint (learning how to use the app ) it should be easy to fix this. I'll give it a try!

So here's the result! I simplified her eyes and I think I like it better this way.

@zzz Now it looks better.
