Dragon fine ink study

A small seated dragon in three-quarter view, four coherent limbs with natural overlap, two raised wings, small horns and one complete curling tail. Practice clear contours and a few local shadows in fine ink.

A way into the drawing

1. Establish the main shapes

   Block in the head, chest and seated haunch.

2. Connect the structure

   Attach the limbs, raised wings and continuous tail.

3. Develop the drawing

   Refine the clear outer contour, add only the most useful interior details and place a few small local shadows. Leave most of the paper open.

A small thing to tryConnect every wing and limb to the body before decorating it.
