it's all in the interpretation, see

With this drawing challenge I've been doing, I realize more now than I did before that to draw or paint people well, the expressions are all in the eyes and mouth. I did notice this before, but since I wasn't practicing, I didn't "get" it. Also, I realize the importance of the artists interpretation more now. Sure, I can draw my feet or a chipmunk with an acorn in his cheek, but did I put my interpretation in the drawing? No, I haven't. But I am learning, so I'm sure it will come to me.
Today's challenge is to draw something with my favorite color. My favorite color is purple and I think I'm going to try a dragon. I painted a dragon before for a friend of mine when she had her bookstore. It will be different using colored pencils though, I'm sure.
So here is that and also the other drawings I did earlier this week.
All critiques are welcome, although I'm sure I already know what needs improving. Enjoy!
