With artistic skill and a good imagination, you can draw a fire-breathing dragon.
One of the most incredible mythical creatures is the fire-breathing dragon. This imaginary animal is often the subject of many drawings by artists who enjoy mythology and science fiction. If you are familiar with drawing a dinosaur or a lizard, you can learn to draw a fire-breathing dragon.
Instructions
1. Use a pencil to draw a sideways-facing or slightly tilted "S." This will be side view of the dragon's body. Connect the end of the "S" at the bottom right to the middle of the "S" using a curved line that follows the "S" guide.
2. Draw a small oval on the leftmost tip of the "S." This will be the guide for the dragon's head.
3. Add a line above the upper curve of the "S" to the left. This represents the neck. Connect the line to the body to give it depth.
4. Draw a long triangle to one side of the "S" shape at the lower portion. This is the guide for the dragon's tail. Add a smaller triangle to the tip of the tail.
5. Create one of the dragon's legs by drawing an additional oval in vertical position at the lower right portion of the body. At the bottom of the oval, add a smaller horizontal oval to represent the foot. Draw small triangles at the bottom for the claws. Draw the other three legs by using the same guidelines on the four remaining sides of the lower portion of the dragon's body.
6. Draw an umbrella shape coming outward from the top portion of the dragon's body. This is for one of the wings. Draw it so the webbed underside of the umbrella shape points down.
7. Fill in the dragon's features by drawing an open mouth with pointy teeth. Add nostrils by using the tip of your pencil to create dark horizontal ovals. Draw the eyes in almond shapes. Draw ears on either side of the head and make them pointy or rounded and facing straight up.
8. Add additional detailing to the dragon. Include scales, fins, crest and anything else you want. Draw fire flames escaping the mouth as the final detail.
9. Erase your guidelines. Be careful not to erase any of the detailing you drew.
