The Chinese dragon has the eyes of an Ogre, the nose, and mane of a lion, the mouth of a donkey, the ear of a cow, and the antlers of a deer. Otherwise, there are no rules for drawing an excellent good Chinese dragon. The style is to fill in all empty spaces with scales, feathers, flames, and patterns.

BEGINNINGS and DESIGN
Start by drawing lightly with a pencil that you can erase later. The head is shaped like a circle with rectangles for the snout and jaw. Use circles for the nose and eyes. There is an ear, draw it as a large triangle pointing backward. There are antlers, they are wavy lines from the top behind the eye going up and touching at points.

REFINING
Make the lines flow so there are no straight lines. Use wavy lines to make the flame-like shapes for the mane, eyelashes, beard around the mouth, and anything else you want. Use triangles for teeth and fangs.

CLEAN UP
Erase extra lines and go over the good parts with a marker or darker pencil, or you may trace it onto a clean sheet of paper. Fill in the empty spaces with patterns.
