Little Dragon in the Meadow

Colors can be chosen boldly with "Little Dragon in the Meadow". Nobody knows what color a dragon or magical creature actually is, so imagination is the only rule. That's exactly what makes these motifs so appealing and invites creative storytelling.

For this adorable little dragon, use soft pastels like baby blue or pale purple for his scales to enhance that cute appeal. Color his large eyes with bright, shiny colors—try emerald green or sapphire blue with white highlights to make them sparkle. Keep the meadow in gentle greens and add wildflowers in pinks, yellows, and daisies. Use warm peachy tones for his belly and inner wings. The small wings work beautifully in iridescent shades, so layer light blue over pale pink for a magical effect that appeals to young colorists.
