How much detail?

Broad adult shapes mix with smaller hatchling claws, belly panels, eggshell pieces and ferns. About the labels.

Try this palette: A new little dragon

Give the parent and hatchling related body colors, then make the eggshell a pale contrast.

A small coloring tip

Pencils suit the smaller baby features and fern sections; use broader strokes on the parent.

Invent a simple spotted pattern for the eggshell.
