So we begin with a happy little dragon.

And sketch in the elements' designs.

Start to add color, using pencils.

And then we finish off coloring the individual designs.

I did actually fit the elements in a particular way, it isn't just random.
For example, Cold and Ice branch off of one of the main 6 which is Water.
Life and Death are obviously oppositely placed, and the four other main elements are the start to all the other branches.

If it's hard to read,
here's all the elements from top to bottom:
(In order from left -> right)

1st row: Time, Chaos, Blood
2nd: Light, Darkness
3rd: Cold, Life, Heat
4th: Ice, Water, Fire, Sand
5th: Speed, Wind, Rock, Sound
6th: Electricity, Death, Metal
7th: Nature, Spirit, Magic (fabricator & telepath)
8th: Poison, Magic (burner)

Continued...

I've done a page of the font I'll be using for the elements as well.

Update:

I am dropping this, because the circles are taking forever and my pencils are super short and my fingers are cramping up from pressing so hard 😂

SO I am continuing this project digitally, which is very experimental because I don't know what I'm doing.

Basically, this is what I have so far. It's just redrawing the symbols right now, but I like it much better:

When it's done, it will look exactly like it was going to look if I continued the paper drawing. On digital, I can do a faint aged scroll background and more vibrant colors. Plus, the undo button is very handy.

Boom done at last!
