This is just the initial sketch. I will be making many modifications before it comes into full fruition. Any tips on how to create a better looking head is appreciated. I never drew this before.
Consumate V’s. More consumate V’s.
Came here for this, got what I wanted.
don’t hit me: use reference photos this is a advice that every professional I’ve asked, and from videos from famous artists I still watch. You mentioned this is the first iteration, excellent. Now make it even more ‘yours’ by combining different references. Maybe this dragon has some features of a tardigrade and a wolf? I dunno, only experimentation and imagination can make it happen 🤙🏾
I like the idea of adding other animals into the mix. I will definitely abide by your advice.
Guy wouldn’t know majesty if it came up and bit him in the face!
That happened once!
I always drew my dragon heads using the geometry of horse heads… Though I tapered the snout and made the eye ridges more pronounced. If you’re gonna draw a four-legged dragon, look at the shoulders of a horse as well… Mix and match animal parts that have the musculature you are looking for to see how joints and limbs would move. Imagination is key, it’s all down to your own tastes. Can go long and skinny like a chinese gragon, or a thickly built two-legged dragon like in Game of Thrones.
