Dragon Drawing by my Daughter - entry for the Dragon Art Contest
Dragon Drawing by my daughter, Skyylar - for @kristyglas's Dragon Art Contest
My (almost 10-year-old) daughter has been obsessed with dragons lately. She has read all nine books in Tui T. Sutherland's "Wings of Fire" book series, and is impatiently waiting for the tenth book to come out later this month (I think next week!). When she was reading stuff online over my shoulder yesterday, she saw the Dragon Art Contest, and decided she wanted to enter.
At first she tried drawing a dragon from her imagination. It turned out like this:
She wasn't happy with how it looked. So, she decided to look at the books for reference.
She drew this dragon based on a combination of some of the different species of dragons in the books. So, it's her own new kind of dragon. She named it "Nickili" (pronounced Ni-Kee-Lee).
I'm pretty impressed with her drawing, but not surprised. Art pretty much runs in our family. She and my older daughter are both turning into great artists. My mom would be amazed! (My mom passed away in 2002, and was an excellent artist.)
She used my Prismacolor pencils (which she's not really supposed to use, but I'll let it slide this time.)
Not sure if kids are allowed to enter this contest, but thought we'd give it a try. ;)
Wow, that's great art-work!
Congratulations on your daughter's skills. I've literally been contemplating doing the same exact thing...
My daughter just turned 7 and she's always coming up with the most interesting & unique art. I like the idea of posting our children's art because it's fresh and unadulterated.
Good stuff. Keep it coming my friend!
Maybe we need to host some kind of "Kid's Art Contest" or some sort of Kid's Art thing. I'll ponder possibilities...
If she is interested you can enter her work for her ^^
I love the colors and she has amazing skills! I hope to see more of her work in the future :D
Tip: add a small cropped preview of the final image as the first picture, so the thumbnail looks better

She says Nickili is a "nice" dragon and doesn't eat other dragons. (phew!) Your dragon is cute.
Aww she is too sweet :)
Really great work! The gradient shades are just superb! Your daughter is quite the artist :)
Good luck in the contest
Thanks - I'll let her know.
Congrats to your daughter! Only 10 years old and what a talent! I hope she will be one of the winners.
Thanks, Kalemandra! I hope so, too!
Awesome work I really like this !
I love this! Fantastic. This challenge has inspired me to get out of my little rut and do some art with my Kids today too.
This will be very hard to contend with. Fabulous work, very talented young artist.
Upped and Resteemed too . Thank your daughter for inspiring me to get back up and draw.
Oh! So good to hear this! Looking forward to seeing their art!!! Yay!
My son wanted a unicorn that farts rainbows, not quite what the challenge was asking for, but I did my best to adapt it. https://steemit.com/art/@girlbeforemirror/dragon-art-contest-entry
