Downtime Elegant Dragons

Dragons get a lot of credit for menace and not much for manners, but this collection lets them keep their dignity intact. Fifty scenes give the creatures room to simply exist: coiled in caves, drifting above cliffs, guarding treasure they seem in no hurry to defend, watching the moon from a ruined parapet. The linework stays clean and self-assured, detailed enough to hold your attention on scales and stonework without turning the page into a chore. Nothing here is on fire out of anger. This is coloring for people who like their mythical beasts a little contemplative, more likely to be found dozing on a mountain ledge than laying siege to a village. Pick your palette, decide how a dragon's wings catch the light, and let the rest of the evening take care of itself.
