Description
It was a little bit trickier to color this than I had originally anticipated. 
Still, I rather like the result. Plus, it's rather a change for me, choosing a color other than blue or green. XD I would have liked this dragon turning out darker, though... There's just something odd about a dragon with salmon-colored scales. o.O
Not much to say about this. The coloring was really an afterthought, seeing as the real intent behind this drawing was shading and anatomy practice.
I tried to do a real background, but I failed at grass, so I laid down a bit of noise and added a motion blue. Cheap grass, but this sort of thing is really becoming my style.
Comments and critiques always welcome!
Time: roughly 5 hours (color only).

This is definitely a more complicated picture and pose, but I like the color balance on your latest oekaki a bit more. The shading on this one helps add a bit of extra detail to the picture. 
As for grass, I think a quick little trick that might help you is to sample colors from a few areas, and draw a few blades of grass coming from the area where you took the sample from. That give the grass a fairly uniform look, and just drawing a few blades can really add to the texture.
