Drawing Dragon Heads

Hello people. I haven’t forgotten that I promised you the Condo750 post (car, bike rally). Decided to share something new that I’ve been doing, instead.

Recently, I’ve been learning how to draw dragons. I suppose I am actually relearning how to draw – something I’ve barely done over the last 25-30 years. This is the second version of this drawing, after ‘fixing’ it, as you can plainly see. I used a tutorial on DragoArt.

Using a DragoArt tutorial: take two

 

I have a dragon ‘art book’ on Wattpad, and I also put these drawings on my official author platform cjrandall.com. (That reminds me, I must update my publishing schedule there.) I also pop them on Instagram if I think of it.

wattpad cover of 'art book' I’m Learning to Draw Dragons is actually doing okay on Wattpad, I think, despite only having 8 drawings with 2 of them both variations of the one above – with a total of 293 reads and 69 votes. Each page/chapter is counted as one read when someone spends enough time on it.

And, in case you are wondering, Taniel has 24 published parts on Wattpad, with 476 reads and 47 votes and has been added to some reading lists. I’m happy with the 10% ratio of votes to reads.

this is the only one I’ve dare colour – I used chalk

 

I eventually realised that I needed to put some cardboard under the sheet in the project book so I don’t gouge the page underneath. I haven’t got a delicate hand! My first few sketches still have the constructions lines.

My eye-brain-hand coordination has improved over my 8 sessions. I’m less daunted by the blank page. Speaking of blank pages, I better get back to my writing. I think I prefer blank pages to editing!  Catch youse later.

Thanks for looking and please have a great day.   🙂
