Right, time to crack out your art supplies listed in step 1.

A short note before we begin
I am not a great artist
Nor am I a pretty good artist
I'm just a kid who likes drawing things that fly about in his head
For that reason don't limit yourself to what I am showing you. Draw what you want.
We'll sketch a bipedal (2legged) dragon moving about on the ground. Due to the nature of sketching, you will find instructions on the images as notes. Once done with this simple pencil sketch, go ahead and add color with whatever medium you have handy (paints, pencils, ink...)

I'll add tutorials on a dragon with rider, and an Oriental once I have the time.

On the thought of time, for a simple sketch like this, it doesn't take long to draw it (just it takes me awhile to scan upload post etc...), don't use the excuse of not having enough time to avoid drawing.

I say this realizing that it's now 4 years after you posted this instructable. I hope you've continued to draw, because while drawing skills can improve with practice, you've got the understanding of what goes into a drawing to make it work. If you haven't kept drawing, then my suggestion is this: get a notebook and a pencil and carry it with you everywhere you go. When you get an idea, jot it down. When you see something you want to sketch, take a few minutes and sketch it.. Sketch out plans for things to make, or to do, or to write... I bet your sketching skills will improve immensely!

Because this drawing? It's pretty darn good, considering you say you aren't even a "pretty good artist." I'd disagree with you! :D
