Draw a Dragon - Step by Step

Thursday November 6, 2008
Drawing dragons is great fun, and you can really let your imagination run wild. If you aren't sure where to start, have a go at this easy fire breathing dragon step-by-step. You can make your lines very crisp to draw a cartoon style dragon or a design for a medieval banner, or you can draw it lightly and add shading for a more realistic look. To make your creation look like it will really fly off the page, read this tutorial on using references to draw dragons 'from life'. Add beady reptilian eyes to your dragon drawing with this lesson on drawing dragon eyes in colored pencil.
