'Young Dragon Hiding' pyrography Finished
This Project has been completed and posted, together with the article for 'Pyrography Magazine' based on the tutorial I had begun on my blog a little while back.
So in a couple of days I will post a completed version of the original tutorial on my blog for anyone interested.

Crowie, the colour is watercolour and coloured pencil. First the line work with the pyrography tool, then an underpainting in watercolour (very thin wash) using earth colours only, then the shading with the pyrography tool and lastly coloured pencil and the pyrography tool.
There is a more detailed step by step description on my blog, which has been a little interrupted but will be replaced in a couple of days with a re-worked step by step tutorial.

Wow!! Now I know why I gave up my pitiful attempts at pyrography when I see work like this! Absolutely fantastic work! I feel like rushing out, getting the old Ironcore flashed up and giving it another go!

You should definitely give it another go.
This particular pyrography work was intended as a step by step tutorial, which is posted on my blog and the pattern can be downloaded from my website (free). The step by step tutorial is to be published in print form in 'Pyrography magazine' which will be published early next year.
If you want to try the particular pattern shown and can make sense of my blog. Just download the pattern and have a go. Should you have any difficulty downloading the pattern or any other questions send me an email and I'll send the pattern in a form that you can use.

The design is exciting to look at. Many things to find.
Great technique with the color work.
Any aquarelle pencils there?

Thanks for the comments, I haven't tried aquarelle pencils. It's worth experimenting with, but I've found results are often unpredictable when the heat from the pyrography tool is one of the factors in obtaining the final tone and colour.
Most coloured pencils seem perfectly compatible with the pyrography but not all water colour pigments (only earth colours and in very thin washes). Water colour pencils?.. You'd have to try and see. Probably worth trying though.

Hello David,
Delighted to have seen you at work at Trend's open day. I am going to have a go at something less difficult however, using your techniques and colouring suggestions. Many thanks, regaqrds, John M.
