Lets paint dragons?

Since we're in the year of the dragon, why don't we get into painting some. I meant to paint this one for Chinese New Year, but didn't get the time. Been trying ever since, and finally got a chance today. Another 42oC day, so we all just hung out in the air conditioning this arvo. This is what I did. I also painted my eyelids for his eyes, but discovered I'm hopeless at doing that! lol

Love to see some more dragons on here!

wauwww!!! really cool!!
i made one last year...
i will try one this weekend and hoping i have a bit progress comparing with this one... great topic!!

Hey Rae - awesome Dragon! I need to develop a good dragon design, will have to work on something this week. Thanks for the inspiration.

Wow! Love both of those.

My OLD, very OLD, Chinese dragon design is way more basic (and quick) and pretty popular too with the tweenie boys

This is my REALLY old dragon, I did this years ago before I owned any face paints, so it's eyeshadow and eyeliner... Haha

shannon!! love those colours!!! for old still nice!!.... i wanted to make a sweet dragonface... trying out with pink purple light blue...

I think I only have two dragons right now...will edit this if I find more, but these are not on the face. Hope that is ok!





Oh! Found a party dragon!


Oh right! Nuther dragon....ummm...I stand corrected...I guess I do alot of dragons!

Turns out I have more, but I'm just going to share this last one....

KIM! You are the dragon QUEEN!
I just love them all!

wow, love all your dragons, I wish mine would look anything like those.

Ow, my goodness!
These are truley amazing! Still have to try your dragon Rae, in pink/lila, as the drake from Shrek! My kids love her!

okay... quick one....
hard to do the left side in the mirrow...


trying another one... but cant beat Mehndi Masala the dragonqueen !

I don't have a dragon I'm willing to share (not out of stinginess, out of SHAME! :-) but I have a cute dragon story. I was at my first paying gig recently and there were 2 adorable 7 year old twin boys who were hovering the entire time I was painting the 15 girls. They kept insisting that they didn't want me to paint them but they couldn't look away. Finally at the end my husband asked me to paint a dragon on his arm and as soon as I was well under way the two boys were pushing each other to be next to get a dragon arm. Then they showed everyone and competed for which was better. (They were really both pretty embarrassing by my standards but they were delighted!!)

P.S. Now I have some great examples to try to emulate!! They are all gorgeous!

last one... did a half face... time is running out....

Basic???!!!! BASIC!!!! That's amazing!!!

Okay, here's my try....LOL

I was going to upload my dragons then chickened out. im blushing at my computer screen. lol mine are horrible now!! this will give me something to practice and work towards. thanks for the waves of inspiration and great works! oh my, gorgeous dragons! from cute to downright scary

ok. i found one that didnt make me cringe! lol one of my first full faces, this was a neighbor boy lol i know i have some that i have tried to paint that I got inspired from other people here. Beautiful dragon masks for boys, green striped wings? and dragonlike eyes with horns, and the dragon painted on the hands, with the fire between the fingers, they are some of my favorites.

wow. that was big. ROAAR

Kim your dragons are turely amazing...and I love all the dragons on here..

Here some more of mine... all are from some years ago...

This one is terrible but it's the first and the only one I have a pic of. It's from the Christina Davidson - Valentines Variations class on FABA. I closed it out and tried to copy it from memory. It needs so much, but the nose ridges that run OVER the horn just add a little something, don't cha think. lol (smh)

WOW. Just Wow. Look at all those amazing dragons!

you guys are rockin the dragons! Awesome. I really want to paint some more, so hard to find the time right now. Hey, it is the YEAR of the dragon right? So I figure I've still got plenty of time : ))
