To try to color his scales individually would take a lifetime. It will feel that way anyway. For dragons I have found the best way to get it to look right is to base coat him the color you want hom to be then Light black ink til you can see the ink betwwen the scales. This should take about two hours or so to get right with drying and all. Then Dry brush the base coat lightly on the centers of the scales trying not to get it into the between spots. Then three ink washes in the color you wantr be it red, blue, or green. This will deepen the color correctly and should take about another two hours if you take your time. Then to finish drybrush your highlights til it looks as you desire it to look. Add detail at this stage like eyes and maybe a light meatlic sheen to some scales to make it glisten. I can post pics of my black dragon if you want or my blue where i got tired and stopped before the final ink wash. Let me know, Darius</blockquote>
