How to Draw a Dragon -- who likes to Draw

How to Draw a Dragon -- who likes to Draw
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!

Step 1Start our DRAGON! Line Of Action

Start 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.
