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 structure, perspective and developed values 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

   Resolve the connected planes and overlaps, then build layered details and a full range of local values. Preserve clear paper highlights.

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