This is Jazzdragon 5, another of the early "dancer" designs. I was trying out some weird pose ideas by this point, and wanted to use forced-perspective on the wings especially. Composition was also an especially strong point for this exercise, with a lot of active diagonal elements and curved lines.

I tried something different for the background fill, too: wax paper and watercolor. I laid down a watercolor wash, then set crumpled wax paper and a book on top. I gave it a couple of days to dry, and wound up with the interesting patterns you see here. I enhanced them with Prismacolors. The dragon is also colored with Prismacolor pencils.
