Silver & Gold

by April Solomon

A gentle Unicorn gazes towards the sparkling golden Dragon gliding towards her. A genuine nod of recognition is made here in this space between them. Two magical creatures, one silver, the other gold. How incredibly different they appear to be, and yet, they share a bond only two genuine magical beasts can share.

This drawing was created using colored pencil on black paper. Some hints of gold and silver ink are used to complete the drawing for a hint of shimmer.

The frame is gilded by hand using variegated gold leaf on top of a solid wood frame.

The original drawing is 5” x 7”

April Solomon

April Solomon is an illustrator and fine artist who has currently earned her bachelor’s degree in illustration at the Laguna College of Art and Design. April’s passion for learning the old masterful techniques of traditional drawing and painting are precisely what inspires her work.
Among her love for the fine arts is her unique appreciation for whimsical high-fantasy, which adorns every image of her portfolio. April's meticulous creature designs aim for what is known as “fantastic realism.” A clever, concise understanding of anatomy, plants, and mysterious textures
weave their way into her illustrations, leaving the viewer guessing at origins, influences, and ancestry. April’s work allows the viewer to dive imaginatively deeper, and reconsider whether dragons might be real, or whether werewolves exist to stalk the streets at night.
When not illustrating, April attends garage sales to unearth buried treasures, runs and lifts weights, or braves as many haunted attractions as possible during the month of October.
