Dragons are quite easy to draw if you follow these tips. Start with a shallow s-shape for the neck... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
...and then a squashed figure 8 for the head. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fatten up the neck a bit... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
...then add in a fat body. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Draw a long tail next... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
...with a pointed arrow shape at the end. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next, big feet with long claws... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
...and a sort of egg-shaped back leg, that leans over to one side. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add in some long pointed wings... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
...long pointed ears... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
...and an open mouth. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
And that's a basic dragon shape. You can use the shape to create any type of dragon you like. |

|

|
|
|
|
He added pointed teeth and eyes... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
...and claws, too. |
|

Don't forget that dragons usually have big scaly plates on their breasts... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
...and scales! |

Use shading to add extra realism to the picture. |
