Hey everyone, here's another dragon tutorial for you all. It's a bit different from my other tutorials because it isn't just limited to pencils. I actually used brush and ink for my sketches but you should be able to use ANY medium for these sketches. In fact, I encourage you to try something you. The main think about sketching is that it has to be quick and to the point, so choose a medium that you can draw/paint quickly with. Let's get started!

STEP 1.

Let's start out by sketching a dragon head and body. Start out with stick figures. Turn the joints, body and head into ovals. Regardless of what medium you are using make sure that your lines are light!

This is how my brush and ink painting looked in the end. You can try to sort of emulate it with whatever medium you are using but I encourage you to experiment and come up with something original; make you sketches unique.

if you make the top of the eye flatter and slanting slightly towards the nose it creates a creasing eyebrow affect which makes it look madder.
