In this Instructable I'll Show you how to DRAW, clean, scan, color and shade a dragon who himself likes to draw!
First off. We need to decide what our dragon is going to look like and what pose he or she will be in.
first thing is to doodle out a thumbnail image. this is just a scribbly drawing to get an idea on paper to work from.
Here's the thumbnail image I doodled out for this project.
At this point we don't really care how good our dragon is. We just want to get something onto paper that we can refer to when we start the real drawing!

Signing UpStep 1Start our DRAGON! Line Of Action
Ok.. all drawings have a beginning and one of the first things you want to do is draw the "line of action" this is basically the "flow" of the eventual drawing.. it's what the rest of the drawing is going to be constructed along.
Along this line I've done circles to start where our dragon's head, nose, chest and stomach will eventually be. This helps you get an overall feel to see how things will come together as you draw. Don't be afraid to scribble as much as you want at this point. We'll Clean up what we don't use later on.

Dreslough.com is Dee Dreslough's website. But If memory serves she does have a link to my work. Or did at one time.
the program used is Adobe PhotoShop but any drawing program would work.
A good free one is GIMP www.gimp.org It has many of the features of Adobe and the price is right!! =)
Mal
(meaning it's been written to be free and the programming code for it is available to anyone who wishes to add to it or just see how it works)
There's no malware or virus payload included with it if you get it from the delevlopment site www.gimp.org.
Here's an extract from their webite....
GIMP is Free Software and a part of the GNU Project. In the free software world, there is generally no distinction between users and developers. As in a friendly neighbourhood, everybody pitches in to help their neighbors. Please consider the time you give in assistance to others as payment.
Dont be afraid of it.. it works good!
