Dragon Coloring Tips

Scale Textures

Dragon scales are the most distinctive feature. Here's how to make them pop:

1. Color the base — Fill the entire dragon body with a base color
2. Add scale lines — Use a darker shade to outline individual scales
3. Highlight scales — Add a lighter dot or line to the top of each scale for dimension
4. Belly plates — Use a lighter, contrasting color for the underbelly

Popular Dragon Color Schemes

Making Fire Look Realistic

1. Start with white/yellow at the center of the flame
2. Add orange around the yellow
3. Add red at the edges
4. Finish with light gray/blue wisps at the very tips
