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.

The Chinese Dragon is thought to be a creature of mythology so you can make it any way you want since it is very unlikely that someone will come up to you and say, "no that is wrong," since they never saw one so how can they know.

This style of the dragon is drawn as a long serpentine creature with legs.

PROJECT NOTES

BEGINNING
Draw the body as two long twisty lines. Start at the head end and gradually taper the lines to a point at the tail. Make it twisty. Add a third line for the spinal ridge; this third line will cross over from one side to the other to show the dragon is twisting.

LEGS
Position the legs where ever you want. To help get them right start lightly draw them like stick figures. Remember the elbows of the front legs point back and the knees of the back legs point forward. Draw the paws like stick figures too. After you have the legs in the place you want them to then go around the lines to give the legs thickness and the roundness of muscle. Do the same with the claws.

SPINE
The spine has a ridge made of spikes, draw them like small triangles. Follow the third line you drew so the spine ridges cross over. They will face one way and then the other.

HEAD
The head can be the most fun. In our drawing, it is long and narrow. You can sketch it any way you want. Decorate the head with flames and spikes. There is a chin beard, a mane of fire, long flowing whiskers, and long feathery eyebrows.

TAIL
The tale has flowing feathers or flame, they can fan out or form a shape like a paddle.

Add details like scales, flames, smoke, circles and what every you like to make it truly your own.

If your sketch of the Chinese dragon does not turn out the way you had hoped it would do not give up, you are learning. No one is as hard on themselves as a person who has the gift of art because you have the vision in your head and know how you want it to turn out- this shows you are thinking like a real artist.  Drawing takes practice, so come back to my blog every day and print off a few more of my drawing lessons and sketch them in a little while you will be drawing beautiful pictures.

The hardest part is deciding on a pose. I suggest making several rough quick sketches to get your ideas worked out.

ANATOMY
This dragon is a lizard with a long neck and wings. The lizard has elbows that point backward and knees that point forward. Draw a stick figure of the bones and then use curved lines to work out the flesh. The head is a wedge-like triangle, with a few extra lines for the jaw. The neck and tail are long like a snake.

The head is a wedge shape with a little extra narrow box-like shape underneath for the jaw. 

Add circles and ovals to shape the legs so they look muscular. Then trace around them.

WINGS
The wings are folded and lying down like a stretched-out cloth; use long graceful lines to draw them.

The back wing is just a shadow shape. 

FEET AND CLAWS
Keep the feet and claws simple. Draw circles and lines for the knuckles and bones, then draw around them the shape of the feet. The claws are curved slightly.

DETAILS
Add details carefully; the teeth and claws are triangles. The scales are dashes or dots that go in rows. The head may have horns, feathers, or a frill. Add some shadow for roundness.

Put him on a bed of golden treasure, bones, or crystals. Put him in a cave or an old broken-down castle.

I hope you create a masterpiece!

How To Draw A Dragon Standing Worksheet.

PROJECT NOTES

Draw lightly at first so you can erase later on.

Like drawing a human figure we start with an articulated stick figure, where we have the joints marked off with little circles. This helps us to get the pose right. Use a guideline down the center so things are even on both sides and not lopsided, erase this line later. He is holding his egg so the hands are together at the center, the palms are up and the thumbs point out.

After we are happy with the position of the pose next draw circles and ovals to fill in the muscles and flesh. Do the wings and armor last.

After you have the drawing the way you like it go over the best lines with a darker pencil or marker and erase the extra lines.

I did this drawing with marker pens so I was only using black and grey. I tried to leve a few areas white and some areas I drew very black that gives interest and contrast. I gave the skin of the dragon texture with a dot technique. The wings were smudged with an almost dried up marker so it has a different texture.

Dragons can be any color.

Have fun.

This dragon is composed of a few lines that flow gracefully so it will encourage the artist to develop beautiful lines.

Start with the serpent body. The snake is just two lines a top and a bottom that touch at both ends. To draw the twisting body takes a little practice, so start with a light pencil like a hb or 2b. You may even want to do a few rough sketches on scratch paper first. Draw the body like a letter "S" . You can add a loop by drawing the top and bottom lines in a circle, draw it right over themselves lightly, and when you are happy about the look then erase out the lines that are in the way.

The head is rounded and the tail can be a point, spade, spike or whatever you want.

Think of the wings as the number 7 lying down on its left-hand side with a curtain of skin stretched between finger joints. Draw the front one that is closest to you first. It is a good idea to practice on a scratch paper until you get it right. The wing is flapping in the wind so it has waves and the lines that make it curve gracefully. This is one of the things that make our dragon so beautiful.

After you have the front wing the way you like it then draw the back wing, it does not need to be all showing since it is behind the front one.

Add details like spikes claws, scales, fangs, and eyes.

You can color the dragon any way you want.

Worksheet for How to Draw a Dragon Lesson

PROJECT NOTES

I start by making an outline using basic shapes. I suggest you draw lightly so that you can erase the extra lines when you are done.

Draw three circles; make one big for the head and two smaller circles, one for the nose and one for the chin, out a little away from the first large circle, this will form the snout part of the face. Connect the circles with four lines; two lines from the nose to the large circle and two lines from the chin to the large circle.

The mane is made by drawing three letter "Cs" at the inside back of the large circle: add two lines for the top and the bottom of the mane. The letter "C" marks should touch the back of the large circle.

Give the lip and the mouth a curve.

The eye is a circle with a curved line above it and touching the top of the circle. Draw a line crossways underneath, curve it just a little, draw a line up and down in the eye make it like a letter "V" but curved a little.

Make the neck with two lines curving lines they should be wider at the bottom.

Two curved lines make the horn, and a curved line finishes the jaw.

Draw ridges along the back, shape these by drawing double letter "C" connected so they have curves.

Draw the teeth like long skinny triangles.

Erase any extra lines.

Add scales and shadows.

I did the illustration with sharpie pens and colored it with pencil.
