Dinosaur shaped heads
In my opinion, and I am not a dinosaur expert, but I think all dragons actually look like dinosaurs. Interesting isn't it?
Before we get going are you prepared? There are so many great ways to build your own drawing studio, but you really only need a pencil, paper and an eraser to get started. So let's go!
These first three dragon images are shaped like the carnivorous dinosaurs - T-Rex.
Bird Head Dragon
This dragon has a harmless looking bird shaped head. It doesn't even have teeth, but a beak. Unfortunately, imagine him as big as a building. Scary.
Serpent Head
I don't have to tell you how frightening these next few dragons would be. Draw the shape, feel free to sketch very lightly. Yes, use an eraser if you want. Sketch Sketch Sketch. You can firm up the shape afterwards.
Condor Head?
I don't know what you think, but this one looks like a Condor to me. Add the eyes anyway you like, in fact below is a full picture of this condor. Add teeth or sharpen up the beak.
Just remember that these pictures give you an idea of the shapes, you can loosely sketch them in slightly different shapes. Let that pencil just go wild.
Here are Head Plates and Horns
Here are the Dragons
These dragons of course have wings, and claws, and lots of muscle work. Once you have sketched some of the head shapes, continue by sketching the rest of the dragon's body.
For full page print outs of these dragons and some others go to Dragons Coloring for some great practice. Try mixing them up.
If you feel ready for the rest of the practice on this site, try dark dragons, ancient dragons, and medieval dragons.
This practice ought to really get your drawing skills going.
I am creating a dragon drawing book, that should be ready sometime soon. If you want to subscribe to my free e-zine, you will be sure to get the notice when it is ready.

Once you are feeling good about drawing dragons...
How about throwing in a warrior, to create some real fantasy art, and even make your own dragon force! I am even adding to a monster drawings area.
