Digital art_2019. Mountain Dragon (Dragon Contest support)

Hi friends!

I want to support my lover art contest on WLS by @kristyglas, so I don't want to it will close...
Usually, if I draw to contest I make some skethes and then choose one of them as best.
This dragon was one of sketches to Winter theme

Sketch
I imagined a big dragon sitting on top of the highest rock even above the sun, and many snow-capped mountains around...

Color palette.
I wanted to draw in concrete color gamma, in cold shades, an example.

Steps

Choode a base colors of dragon & rock

Details - light, shadows, clouds, mountain textures

Winter mountain sun

On this step I decide I don't like very poor color palette and add a adjustment layer Color Lockup

Dragon

Finally I add some dramatic shades with Curve layer.
And more mist on back mountains to highlight foreground.
It's what I got!

Have a nice day!
