Draw a Dragon Head

This tutorial will show you some techniques in drawing the dragon head.

Steps

Drawing lightly, sketch 2 circles close to each other.
Use shapes like 2 wedges to draw the basic shape of the snout.
Draw the neck (use an image of a snake as reference).
Draw the basic shape of the head part that you want to add (in this illustration, a trapezoid or triangular rectangle is used as a guide to draw fins).
Draw additional shapes such as cones or mounds to serve as places where horns or tendrils, hair, etc... can be attached (read books or use the internet to study various animal characteristics that you can use).
Draw your choice of attachment (this illustration uses horns based from a water buffalo).
Sketch the shape and position for the eyes.
Use a smaller tipped drawing tool to add details and refine the sketch.
Draw additional details to the head such as fins, spikes, chin tendrils, etc...
Draw the final outline over the sketch.
Erase and remove the sketch marks to produce a clean outlined drawing.
Add color and shading to the artwork.
