To Shade a Dragon

 So I've been working on this
steampunk dragon
for quite some time.
A little here, a little there.
As the ideas hit me.
This is what he looked like this morning.
I realized I had never shaded him.
Shading is not my favorite.
I really dislike shading,
but it makes such a difference.
As you have heard me say time and again.
Shade.
Because this is what happens when you shade.
So much depth and dimension.

I tried out a steampunk name generator
on google.
It came up with the name Bramhall.
Sounds like a good dragon name to me.
Bramhall.

To shade or not to shade?
Shade.

Zen Gem Swap

Zentangle All Around
is currently working on a 
zentangle gemstone swap.

I like doing sets of nine ATC swaps.
They fit so nicely into a baseball collectors
page. Makes it easy to display.

Here are my nine. 
Zen gems are fun, a little challenging,
but fun and rewarding when they
turn out.
Hahaha!

There are many YouTube videos teaching
gems or zen gems.
Why not give it a try today?
You will need some colored pencils
and a little patience.
So worth it!
Don't you like a good challenge?
