How to Fold an Origami Dragon

I uploaded a video a few days go, on how to make an origami dragon, and here are the requested instructions.

Step 1: Fold the Base

If you already know how to fold the bird base, go ahead and do that, and you can skip this step.
Otherwise; for future origami reference, this that we're folding is called the bird base, and is used as the base for many origami animals.

Step 2: The Body

If you ever get confused during these steps, you can refer to my video.

Step 3: Head and Tail 1

If you ever get confused during these steps, you can refer to my video.

Step 4: The Wings & Legs

If you ever get confused during these steps, you can refer to my video.

Step 5: Head and Tail 2

If you ever get confused during these steps, you can refer to my video.

Apologies for the bad focus on some of these.....yeah

Step 6: RAWWR!!!

Now go out and ravage some villages

Step 7: The Video

Heres a full video of the process

I like it lots but I don’t get some of the steps because it’s one shape then goes to the other

[bindi.a.nongsra]

Nevermind

[bindi.a.nongsra]

Here be dragons

I like your origami model. Most of the easy dragons on youtube that are like this have itty bitty little wings, which I hated. So, I had to stick with big wings and no feet. But, I like how your origami model has big-ish wings, but still has feet. Thanks!

Hey that's the best dragon Ive found so far! but do u need more than one piece of paper? the second to last frame on step four says you do the same thing for the other side, and i cant figure it out!

[cosmicknight782]

You only need one piece of paper. The other side is exactly what it means. You flip it over, so that its on the other side, and do the same thing.
