How to Draw a Dragon (Headshot)

This is how to draw a dragon in my own art style! Enjoy!

NOTE: I am doing this on Chrome Canvas, a drawing app on a Chromebook, so regular art will look different.

DIGITAL ART:

1. Computer/laptop WITH KLEKI OR CHROME CANVAS

PAPER/REGULAR ART:

1. Pencil
2. Eraser
3. Thin black sharpie

DIGITAL ART: Lower the opacity of your marker tool to about 40 and draw a circle.

REGULAR ART: Draw a light circle with your pencil.

BOTH: Draw a line just above the circle. Then, add another line curving down. Draw another line going across, and then draw with a line equivalent to the second. Finally, finish off the snout with a line curving back to the circle.

Draw a lightning-like shape sprouting from the top right of the head to make a horn. Then, add an ear underneath by drawing a curving triangle and adding a line that divides it in half. Add a triangle underneath the ear and draw a dividing line between the circle and the triangle to create the jaw bone.

Draw a narrow oval shape for the eye and add a narrow pupil.

Draw a curved sort of line for the neck twice. Then, add another line closer to the left line for the underscales.

DIGITAL ART: DO NOT DO THIS STEP

REGULAR ART: Erase the circle.

DIGITAL ART: Make your marker opacity 100, create a new layer, and draw over the rough sketch. Draw over every line except for the circle.

REGULAR ART: Draw over your lines with your Sharpie.

DIGITAl ART: Go to your original low-opacity layer and erase everything. Delete the layer. DO NOT DELETE THE SECOND LAYER.

REGULAR ART: Erase the pencil lines.

Add small details, like nostrils, scales, and the mouth.

Add scales, patterns, whatever you want to the body!

Color in your drawing! (DIGITAL ART: Make a new layer and place it underneath your lines.)

Add the dragon's name, the colors you used, and your signature!
