Step by Step Guide

A dragon's head is a very complicated figure to draw. Even if you use a reference, you'll still find it difficult to replicate the entire drawing. However, if you can break the entire process down to a few steps, things can get easier for you. That's exactly what I do with my dragon head drawings. And if you want, you too can follow my approach and see if it helps.

To draw a dragon head, we start with the basic structure and then work out the facial expressions. We then add the smaller details and designs to make it look realistic. Finally, we add some final touches to our drawing and complete it.
