Three-Color Challenge: Bad Boy

Description

Blue, black, and silver; all Crayolas.
Also goes to show how crappy scanners can be. I love the colors in the photograph, taken as soon as I got home from school today.

On the date that I started this (the date on the pic!), Emmajh97 challenged me to try a Three-Color challenge, which I decided was a cool idea and accepted. So I picked out three colors and spent two days working on this. I finished it up last night (11/10/15). I also listened to the song "Bad Boy" by Cascada on repeat while working on it last night, and I liked the way the song and the picture seemed to go together, so I figured I would name it after said song.

Also there's just something about being limited to a certain number of colors that really teaches you to learn new techniques such as shading. I also like the colors dark blue and silver on a dragon. Particularly big dragons. It just seems like a royal and intimidating color scheme for big powerful dragons. And I LOVE DOSE EYEZ! I love the way the eyes came out while I was coloring them! 

No graphite pencils or pens were used to create the lineart whatsoever; the lineart was done entirely with my black pencil.

Artwork belongs to me.
Enjoy! :D
