A complete change of media use this time. I have used photoshop for my colour studies. Photoshop is such a useful tool, although the mouse control can take a bit of getting used to, it has enabled me to scan in the original sketch and then I can experiment with the different colour schemes.

Here I have gone for two different palettes, a more vibrant and colourful version, and a toned down pastel image.

I actually quite liked the brighter palette more than I thought I would, but because I know that it is probably more of a personal choice for me to be drawn towards strong colours. I think that the dreamlike effect that I am after is actually better achieved with the more muted and pastel shades.

I am unsure also at this point as to the final position of the dragons tail and have tried a couple of positions in photoshop.
