#sc acrylic dragons

[stardust-cove]

It’s been a while since I’ve updated this blog, but I painted this months ago for my dad. Unfortunately it wasn’t a surprise because he snuck up on me when I was painting it and gave me critique (not knowing it was his own gift). I’ll be putting this on my Redbubble (bio) and I’m sure it’d make a lovely postcard or sticker design.

Design notes:

When drawing up my concepts for this piece, I sneakily asked my dad what colours would be cool for a dragon and he said he liked Smaug from the Hobbit, so I went with gold, yellows and oranges. In real life you can see a golden outline around the dragon from metallic paint. Though this specific dragon isn’t my interpretation of Smaug.

I wanted to draw a castle in the background but due to time constraints I left the background as it was. And to make the background, I put a bunch of browns and reds on the canvas and mixed them around and I like the outcome.

A general tip I have when figuring out how big you want your dragon to be is to use string to give you a visual guide, as personally I’m bad at scaling things and I’m more of a digital artist, so while I can easily change the size of things digitally, traditionally it’s harder to fix sizing mistakes.

My dad has this painting hung up in his room, and it has my signature on the back :D

You can find the pattern here: { Odile, the dragon...}

I want to share some changes I made for my dragon.

1. I used a 1.5 mm hook, 12 mm safety eyes, and 55% cotton, 45% acrylic yarn.

2. With dragon’s face I did the following:

- added whites to his eyes with a leftover white yarn;

- embroidered nostrils with darker color;

- indented the nose because, without it, the dragon reminded me of a cow.

3. Now let’s talk about the pattern itself:

- When I crocheted a body, it said to press the opening with my fingers and crochet together with sc. My last stitch was located in the middle of the dragon’s back. If I’d done what was said in the pattern, I would’ve connected only half of the stitches. Because of this, I crocheted a few slip stitches to move my yarn from the middle to the side.

- When we pressed the opening of the ears with our fingers and crocheted 6 sc through both sides, the pattern later says to curve the ears to sew them to the head. Instead, I pressed 6 sc we just made together once again, crocheting 3 sc through both sides.

- I crocheted wings from separate details, which I later connected to add a dark green border. If you want to do the same, you need to crochet the following:

Make 4, using the color of your choice (it’s creamy white in my case)…

Note: we’ll be working not in rounds, but from side to side.

1. Make 2 chain stitches. Crochet 4 sc in the second chain from the hook

2. 3 sc

3. 3 inc (6)

4. 6 sc

5. (1 sc, inc) x 3 times (9)

6. 9 sc

7. (2 sc, inc) x 3 times (12)

8. 12 sc

9. (3 sc, inc) x 3 times (15)

10. 15 sc

We have four details for the wings: for the two of them, you should cut the yarn off and weave the ends, while for the other two, do not cut the yarn because we’ll continue working with them.

Take one half with cut-off yarn and one with yarn still attached. Hold them together so that the wrong sides touch each other while the right ones face outward. From there on, we’ll be crocheting through both details:

11. 5 sc, 1 picot stitch on top of the previous stitch, 5 sc, another picot stitch on top of the previous stitch, 5 sc.

Cut the yarn off and weave the ends. Your wing is supposed to be connected only at the bottom.

Picot stitch = chain 3. Then crochet one sc on the first of those stitches (third chain from hook). Continue with the following stitches.

Now, we’ll be working with dark green yarn. Connect your yarn to the side where we just finished crocheting, and make sc through both halves along the two remaining sides. You should have 10 sc moving up, 3 sc in the top point, and 10 sc moving down, 23 sc in total. Cut the yarn off, leaving a long tail for sewing wings to the body.

You can also embroider lines with a dark green color, similar to the one in my photo.

A more in-depth long post and recount about my sea serpent box, with process photos and notes.

The brief from my dad was to make a visually eye-catching painting on this giant metal box. And of course, I went with a sea serpent. Only the lid, and two faces of the box would be visible, so that’s what I had to take into account.

We painted the base with white paint (not acrylic, but a paint for steel) first, then I had to plan my design for the sea serpent. That can be very time consuming, but I drew a bunch of designs and finally settled on one.

Next, I planned the size of my sea serpent with string as a guide. I recommend this for big pieces. After that, I sketched my design around the string with whiteboard marker so it’d be easy to erase/cover with paint. And I took off the string.

I painted the box faces and lid with acrylic blue paint as my paint base. Layer after layer. Then I was finally able to get started on painting the sea serpent.

And after many many days of layering and shading and highlighting over and over, I finally finished my sea serpent box. It’s vibrant and colourful, and I love it.

I tried to show the metallic paint outline, and here are some concept sketches, and when I used string to figure out how big I wanted the dragon to be.

I was asked by my dad to paint this box, and I decided to go with a sea serpent, and to make it very vibrant and eye-catching.

This was a gift for someone years ago, and the prompt was to paint my interpretation of a Welsh Dragon :) it was painted on a canvas!
