In reference to a passage from The Dragon in China and Japan:“The difference between male and female dragons is described as follows: "The male dragon’s horn is undulating, concave, steep; it is strong at the top, but becomes very thin below. The female dragon has a straight nose, a round mane, thin scales and a strong tail.”The description of the female dragon’s mane made me think of clouds and how they were associated with rain, which made me want to make a male more centered around lightning and dark thunderclouds. And, of course, can’t forget their chimu, the yellow bump on their skulls that allows them to fly, the mark of their divinity above the common snakes. The reasons for their colors are purely aesthetic. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that blue was considered a masculine color and pink a feminine one in China (at least according to the website I saw). This was meant to be something to shake off the dust after having not drawn for nearly three weeks. Expect more to follow. -- source link
