Whoo! My hand hurts! This dragon isn't the best thing I've ever drawn, but it means a lot to me. This dragon is a portrait... My friend and I really saw these! A few weeks ago, there was a horrific electrical storm. A baby storm (Which was still pretty cool) came in the evening, but the real monster came at a wee hour of the morning. The thunder and lightning woke us out of bed, and we sat under the garage overhang and watched. It lasted for hours and hours! Lightning everywhere! I have never seen so much!

Every great now and then, a special bolt would flash, going not vertically but horizontally! These few rumbled from one side of our peripheral vision to the other, as if alive, leading the rest of the bolts on their journey northward. Those bolts... Were DRAGONS! Dragons of lightning. After a while, it finally calmed down enough for us to go back to bed, and it was a nice, temperate day when we awoke. Almost as if it was a dream...

Here I have attempted to capture the beauty of one such dragon... But, it didn't come out as planned. I wish that I had made it more randomly zigzagged, like the lightning bodies of the ones we saw. But, no, I just HAD to make it round! I think I did a good job of making the dragon's body glow from within, but the glow around it didn't come out well. Also, the clouds do not look good to me. On paper, the orange didn't stick out so bad, and the blending was better.

Okay, I did this COMPLETELY FREEHAND, MEANING NO SKETCH! Good for me! No outlines, either. And, as usual, it was done with Prismacolor pencils. The style was inspired by the work of !
