Sorry for all the WIPs! It's my fault for taking on too many projects at once but I definitely plan on finishing them all! I did a few studies of a Sapphire Throne-Room

Apparently, in the past sapphires were believed to be a medicinal gem that could cure stomachache, colic, and other complaints.* So here we have an apothecary who has mixed up a sapphire tincture for a patient!

Today I'm posting the pencil sketch. (I normally do the sketch in pencil, then ink it digitally for coloring.)

Sapphire dragons are calmer than their ruby counterparts. Although they are also excellent flyers, they are more likely to be found resting on clouds and watching the world below. They represent relaxation and wisdom.

Long Tailed Widowbird have red color feathers. I used markers over the sketches.
