hough dragons are creatures of fantasy and imagination, having solid anatomy is as important as if
you were drawing an animal from the real world.
Though people have never seen a dragon in the esh, you
want to make them believe its possible! Having good proportions, skeletal structure and musculature will go a long
way toward making your dragons believable. In the following units were going to go over different ways to approach
drawing the different pieces of anatomy. Though Ive tried
to include several different approaches for each piece, its
important to note that these are merely suggestions and
you should not let the following pages limit you or your
imagination. There are many ways to create an anatomically
sound creature, and I encourage you to explore them all.

EARS
Ears can help develop the type of dragon and its expression. Ears that are laid back
may show that the dragon is feeling upset or aggressive, for example. A dragon thats
soft and cuddly may have tufted or feathered ears, while an aquatic dragon may have
webbed ears or ear holes surrounded by elaborate ns and crests. And some dragons
may not have ears at all!

The prole view of a dragon is the easiest. You do not need to worry about perspective
or symmetry; it is very straightforward. If you are a beginner, this is always the view I
recommend you try rst.
Draw a curved
neck and belly.
