Dragon tutorial: steps/headless/1960s 09/01/2021
Tutorial for a dragon
What story made you fall in love with fantasy?
difficult. The earliest fantasy tale I can think of is high john the conqueror or anansi. In my household my parents loved telling stories. the earliest I will say is, high john the conqueror.
What dragon character is your favorite?
Well, what determines a dragon is complicated. Does a dragon need wings? need to have blood, can it be a robot? so, I will answer this question in parts. my favorite dragon from antiquity is the Dragon that Ra or Horus depending on the telling rides on the Nile. I love that blue color. My favorite dragon in cartoon world is smog in the rankin bass lord of the rings. The first film/live action dragon I saw was falcor and yes, I have to get to that museum in germany where you can ride him. My favorite dragon villain is... Mecha Godzilla, the original Toho or the modern.
What tutorial would you like to see next?
For me, any. I see myself as a mature artists. I like the way I draw. I am satisfied. No artists can do it all. So, any tutorial is great. For me, I collect it all and maybe a story or two will come from them one day
...
I used only one tool. I find with tutorials, artists like to use too many tools. the common child in humanity does not have a computer. Computer's cost money. Does not have food. Food costs money. so, I try to do tutorials intentionally with one affordable tool. I have a computer and equipment to act through electronic art processes. But, that isn't something that can translate to a kid with one crayon or pencil.
So, I made the dragon, I used thicker lines for definition. I used line drawing or shading to represent different colors. In each step I followed the prior steps, growing the character.

headless horseman dragon
I am thinking of fall already and I thought what about a headless dragon. I used a similar style as in a deviantart tutorial, cited in the image below.
I want to add as in my version of the tutorial. YOu can use draft lines to create different intensities which can depict foreground background, light ,shadow. A closer look to the image will show different lines about the body, you can use that to show differentiation of color absent multiple colors.

1960s fashionable dragon
Me and FlapperFoxy talked about fashion on one of her pieces.
https://www.deviantart.com/flapperfoxy/art/1960-s-Foxy-599962182
and it made me think in concert to the dragon tutorial, what if a dragon had a similar dress. So like the tutorial, I used only one pencil, one page, draft lines representing different colors. I didn't make a second version, this image was scanned from the only attempt. I mirrored some of Flapper's style with her work above. But we talked about a proper back out for a female with tale. On closer inspection you can see the dress has a zipper from top to bottom, and something in my mind is similar to a sewing hoop that allows for adjustment to suit her whenever she needs. Since it is a zipper skirt I figured it will have a pattern perpindicular to the pattern flapper used in her work. One side is a block color while the other side is multicolor or shaped.

What else would you draw in a picture with a dragon?
I made a headless dragon for my idea, so my dragon was holding its head but I can also see a pearl or some objectanything can be held by a dragoneven luck
What tutorial would you like to see next?
Anything is fine. The key for any artists is to look at competitions or tutorials as invitationals. Either invite the artists to create, so do so technique can always be judged but contentment is something the artist must learn to have to their work gardless what others say or do.
