Draw a Dragon
Dragons are cool. You know that, that's why you want to draw one. Luckily, it's a lot easier than it looks. Grab a pencil and let's draw a dragon.
Instructions
1. Draw a right triangle. Make it big with the right angle in the top right. Make the left side a little longer than the right side and have the hypotenuse (longest side) facing downwards. Don't go all the way to the edge of the page, have the triangle centered in the page. This is his face.
2. Draw a lower jaw. Simply add another obtuse triangle attached to the bottom of the face. It should share a point with your right triangle, the point on the right where the hypotenuse and the shorter line meet. The longest line of your obtuse triangle should be on the bottom.
3. Draw the nose. This will be a tiny little equilateral triangle near the end, but not touching the tip of the big right triangle.
4. Draw an ear. Make this a pointy triangle on the right side of the right triangle. You should have a triangle on each side of your original triangle now. You should be able to make out the shape of your dragon.
5. Draw an eye. Start with a semicircle inside the big triangle, about an inch away from the ear. Now put a slit for the eye, down the middle of the semicircle. To complete the eye, draw a straight line to close off the semicircle.
6. Add a ridge in the face. This is hard to explain, but it will look cool. From the top of the eye, draw a very shallow curve with the open side facing upwards. Make your curve stretch all the way to just under the nose.
7. Add a nostril. Simply draw a circle at the end of your face ridge.
8. Add a ridge above the eye. This will just be a slight bump on the triangle right above the eye.
9. Give him some teeth, triangles, of course, inside the mouth. Two jagged ones on the top are fine, but if you think he needs more feel free to deck him out with hundreds of flesh-tearing fangs.
10. Draw his neck. This should be one simple curve from just below the ear. Make it almost a semicircle. The second curve will be more S-shaped and will start from the bottom of his jaw.
11. Add some triangles along the back of his head. Make them in line with the ear but smaller. This is like a triceratops face with a collar of spikes.
12. Draw flames. That is, if your dragon breathes fire (not all do). These are wavy lines coming from the mouth.
13. You're done! Well, almost. If you are an advanced artist, you can go back and round out some of the triangles and make it seem more realistic. You can also add shading. Add scales on the neck and make his eye more detailed.
