Dragon Info

Dragons are described as large lizard-like creatures with a long scaly tail. They are also known to breathe fire.

Traditionally, they represent good luck and are believed to repel evil spirits. ... I know I wouldn't be feeling too lucky if I was confronted with a fire breathing dragon!

Along fantasy lines, you can make drawings of dragons appear however you want.

If the dragon is guarding a princess keeping her prisoner, or guarding treasure, he would surely have a mean face and be breathing fire.

How would you do your mythical dragon drawings?

Start With The Basics

It's easier if you draw your basic shape first and consider how you imagine him to look. Is he standing up breathing fire or is he resting?

I like to have a drawing of a dragon with me, so I can just get a rough idea of the outline. Looking at another drawing also gives me ideas on how to make changes to the dragon. Let your imagination rule.

It took me about 15 minutes to draw this dragon's head.

Some drawings take too long so I leave them and start again. They don't work out and I would never be happy with them. It is faster to start another!

Keep adding features until you are satisfied with your dragon.

Even using negative spaces as a guide is a good help. That is, if you look at the space around the outline, this gives your creative mind a kick start. Let it take over.

Now this is the image of a dragon that I have held from childhood. He looks kind of friendly. I never liked mean things too much!

I will be able to add more fantasy dragon drawings later on.

As usual, these drawings of dragons are kept simple, so you can use them for your projects and draw the surroundings to suit your needs.

One thing is certain, doing mythical dragon drawings is interesting and it doesn't matter if you make a mistake, your drawing can't be judged.

There is no right or wrong way to doing fantasy drawings and that is such good news for budding artists.
