Description
Colored version of a dragon lineart by Ulario.deviantart.com, for her recent dA coloring contest.
(Not the winner.) But I do love drawing full moons, and by now I guess inverted colored-pencil drawings are one of my trademark styles; there's just no way to describe that sense of accomplishment from spending long hours shading by faith, only at the end to scan & invert the piece and (for the very first time) view it as it was truly meant to be seen.
Used a different brand of pencils this time; good smooth lines but they couldn't shade like I was hoping to, so I ended up spending many hours drawing in each and every one of those little bitty scales. I shorted myself a lot of sleep that night, but it was worth it.
Anyone interested in seeing the original (non-inverted) drawing as it appeared on paper can view it in my deviantArt Scraps, here.
8.5x11", full-views at 75px/in.

Excellent work as always, Stratadrake. It's absolutely gorgeous! I love how the fusha contrasts with the green. I wouln't have the patience to draw all those itty-bitty scales myself. Job well done!
