#Dragon simple drawing how to#
Second-last step now… how to draw the rest of your dragon! Fourth Step – How to Draw the Wings, Tail and Details And yes – the same goes for making some of the more complex lessons simpler. You can use the positioning ideas of your dragon here in this lesson, and apply it to drawing a more complex dragon from some of the others. Remember – just because this lesson is Intermediate-level, doesn’t mean you can’t ‘ bump things up‘ a notch. Something to add - if you’ve gone to tackle some of the other more difficult dragon drawing lessons, you’ll see that there are more lines involved, making the drawings more detailed and well – more complex. The two examples below illustrate this quite nicely… Referencing the central oval, along with the ‘limb lines’ that extend outwards from it – drawing the neck, limbs and body of your dragon is a much easier task. Next up – let’s move on with how to draw the neck and body… Third Step – How to Draw Dragon’s Bodies Through lots of experience though, I’ve come to see that a little planning ahead of time can really make the drawing experience all the more enjoyable. Still, if you’re a fan of erasing, by all means do. Little tips like this can help you out… it’ll save you from having to erase later on. Because the first spike would be obstructing the right horn, I’m going to leave it until later on. The right horn for example – while I will draw it later – falls in behind the spikes that I’m planning to include along the dragon’s neck, back and tail. Notice how I’ve left a couple parts of the head out of the picture so far. In only a few simple lines, here’s how to draw the head of your dragon… Instead of big circular ‘cartoony’ eyes like I’ve drawn, you might want to opt for something a bit smaller and narrower, minus the pupils – giving off a meaner look to your dragon. But if you like – change your drawing up so that it has a bit more of an edge to it. In this lesson, I decided to go with more of a ‘cute’ look. Now let’s check out how to draw this dragon! Second Step – How to Draw a Cartoon Dragon Head Take your time and eye them out so that they are spaced about equal – and also, so that the left one is slightly smaller than the right (your right) – as it’s positioned a bit further away from the observer. The only tricky part here, is how to draw the wing spokes in the right position.
The rest of the guideline is pretty straight forward. Dragons often have narrower heads, and so I included a simple triangle from which to base it around. First Step – How to Draw Dragons… a Frameworkīelow are two examples showing you how I came about a guideline from which to draw the dragon in this lesson.
