Color choices
This desert dragon rests beside the cactus oasis, its scales ready for warm sandy tones with a lighter underside. Try rich greens for the cacti standing nearby, keeping their spines a slightly lighter shade. The palm tree leaning over the water could take on a deep green, and the sun and sand dunes in the background stay warm golden tones.
Compare dragon scales and oasis colors
Color the dragon’s scales first, then use a cooler palette for the cactus and water.
