Chinese Dragon drawing (Part 2)

Chinese dragon drawing. If you have gotten this far with your drawing now it's time to elaborate a little bit your sketch to get an idea of the final result.

 

Without doing anything fancy I elaborated the head a little and the front legs and given them a posture that make them look more like hands than legs. This is how they are often represented in traditional drawings.

Posterior legs have also changed from the previous sketch.

 

Chinese dragon drawing - dorsal scales

Now! I told you the spine would have come in handy!

 

It's time to add the dorsal scales to our dragon. I can assure you that it would be a nightmare if we didn't have the dorsal spine. We can in fact use the spine as a reference and as a guide to draw the scales because we know where the base of the scales is.

 

Draw the scales slowly and try to keep them all similar to each other. Also try to follow the curvature of the body when you draw them.

 

Chinese dragon drawing - tracing

We are getting there my friends!

 

At this point you can just trace the profile of your dragon and remove all the construction and sketchy lines. I know it looks a bit naked now but trust me we are going to make it look professional in a sec, just follow me!
