Invent and draw your superhero!
by Vincenzo
Looking for simple dragon drawings are you? Well, my friend you are just in the right place.
Time to work a bit on the expression of our funky dragon. I wanted it to be happy and joyful. Happy to be a Dragon! Also I wanted to experiment a bit with the size of the eye which is a crucial element of the final expression.
Being such a simple drawing the fundamental facial features have a crucial importance in determining the expression of the creature. A smaller eye would have conveyed for example a completely different feeling to the dragon expression.
Now believe it or not I haven't done anything particularly fancy in this step. I have just removed the skeleton (it worked perfectly so far) and started to play with the size and orientation of the paws.
Now this is a very important step and badly drawn paws can seriously ruin the final effect of the drawing. See how the right front paw looks away from us while the left paw looks almost toward our direction.
I have decided I did not like the teeth in the mouth and I removed them. I have also given a bit of love to the rear paw and the eye. I have given it a bit of highlight.
I told you that things would have changed. By observing my drawing I noticed I did not like the original curvature of the tail so I deleted it and redrawn.
Before it was unnatural and compressed now the flow of the tail is much more fluid and natural and adds to the overall balance of the composition.
