Draw Dragon Motivation

After I created my first dragon, I was eager to try again and to see if I can draw it every day for a whole week. As a result, I created a goal to see if I can render this thing without always referring to my reference. However, after taking a slight break, I noticed that I started forgetting how to draw it.

Next, so how do you make it?

First of all, to draw a dragon, you start with a basic circle (head) and a long loose line. Then, you create large two large circles towards the middle of the body. However, don’t focus on the details; try to stick with simple shapes at the start. Before, I write out a whole paragraph, which I almost did. Therefore, I decided it was best if I make a list.

Here are 6 steps to consider

• To draw a dragon, start by creating two large intersecting circles.
• Connect lines from the neck all the way around to the tail
  • Tail end will taper (Triangle)
  • Chest usually sticks out more
• Sketch in the nose/mouth
  • Shape it like a trapezoid
• Draw a single wing stem from a circle (Sketch 3)
  • I broke it down in six segments or lines
• Later on, you can draw out the longer fingers
  • They should be 2-3 segments long
  • The tips of the wing should stretch out to the hip (sketch 6.2)
• Draw dragon Legs
• start by creating small circles (design 5) for knee caps
  • Try to position circles away from each other
• Create the hands as circles first to get an idea of proportion
• Then draw in a few fingers
  • Use squares for the fingers
  • Try not to focus too much on the detail early on (sketch 8)
• Add the eye, mouth, and horns
  • I generally draw the eye using a pentagon shape, then add detail later

That’s it for now
