Simple Ways of Drawing Dragons

For all those who are eager to know how to draw dragons, the procedure is simple and easy to remember. Though there are many ways of drawing a dragon, you can follow the method which is easiest for you. You should start drawing with the help of a pencil because you might have to erase the drawing quite often.

The first step in the process for drawing a dragon is to draw a triangle which has a ninety degree angle between two of its sides. In addition to this triangle, you need to draw three more triangles out of which one will be for the nose, the other for the ear and the last one will be at the bottom. Now, draw the mouth and the eye which are the main parts of the dragon. The mouth of the dragon should be wide open. Draw a few large-sized teeth and make sure that the rest of the teeth are small-sized and of the same length. Do not forget to draw the nostrils of the dragon. Though there are many ways of drawing them, the best way to draw them is by having two half loops which are adjacent to each other. By starting from the nostrils of the dragon, you should draw the muzzle and the lower jaw of the dragon. The muzzle of the dragon should be drawn by drawing a square or a rectangle which will start from the nostrils of the dragon. The jaw of the dragon which is located below the muzzle should be drawn using a rectangle. It is quite obvious that the size and the length of this rectangle should be lesser than that of the upper rectangle or square used for drawing the muzzle of the dragon. The part over the eye of the dragon should have a slight bump. This can be drawn by slightly erasing the dragon.

Shade the dragon with the help of a pencil. Dragons generally have horns which are on the top of the head. Practice drawing the head independently a few times. You can use small, equal-sized isosceles triangles to draw the horns of the dragon. In order to draw a cartoon dragon, you should draw very large-sized horns. This can give a funny look to the dragon. The portion of the dragon from the neck till its legs should have a curve at the center. Now, draw the legs of the dragon and then the feet with the help of three lines on both the sides. You can color the dragon in attractive colors to give it a very realistic look.
