Derfel the dragon breathes fire by Souxanne in Lagos
Derfel the dragon breathes fire
This playful illustration features a bright red dragon breathing a large plume of orange and yellow fire. Its body is rounded and cartoon-like, with a yellow underbelly and expressive, friendly eyes. The dragon’s wings are highlighted with yellow membranes and outlined in red, matching the rest of its body. Black spikes run along its back and tail, adding a touch of classic dragon character.
Created for a children's book targeting 3 to 5 year olds, the use of smooth, vibrant colours and clean lines gives the piece a cheerful, storybook quality that’s sure to capture attention and spark the imagination.
