Happy dragon

This happy dragon wants everyone to have a good Monday:

Dragons are on my  mind, because I’m currently re-re-re-listening to the audiobook version of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (no spoilers). Ok, tiny spoiler: There are dragons in it.

This dragon is friendly and vegetarian, though, looks kinda like a dinosaur mixed with a dog and breathes fire after eating chilies.

You’re welcome to download the image and use it as a wallpaper for some happy dragon energy this week.

I’ve just set it as my own wallpaper and it’s already giving me some good vibes and confidence to set off another week of job hunting.

Drawing process:

My drawing style is usually defined by a black line, but today I wanted to try something different. I quite like the look of this image without the black lines. It gives a very different look, almost like paper cutouts. I drew everything in Adobe Illustrator (with my Wacom tablet) this time, not based on a sketch on paper, like I sometimes do.

This cupcake is being guarded really well.

There are dragons on my mind, possibly because we’re playing and watching a lot of Hearthstone at the moment.

This drawing took a bit longer to make than my usual doodles, because scales. Lots of them. But it was fun to make.

I’ve always had trouble drawing dragons that look believable. Something about the face and the ear flaps always goes wrong, but I think this one turned out well.

I like that the dragon is holding the cake cage with its tiny arm.
