Description
the next of my dragon tut series. this will have 2 views- profile (flat) and angled.

1. start with the simplicity. just a plain rough circle. DONT PRESS HARD AND DONT TRY AND MAKE IT PERFECT! this is just a base.

2. add a rectangular bit to the head circle. this is where you either go on or continue to do the slightly angled view.
for flat, continue on. for angled, place a line going from the edge of the muzzle to the back of the circle. add 2 arching lines, which they should get slightly get closer together on the far side to give a bit of dimentionality.
THIS IS WHERE THE TUTORIAL SPLITS

3. BOTH: bring the top line of the muzzle back and tilt the line upward for a bit to make a little bump.
FLAT: take the line from the bump back to create the horn. split the jaw about 3/4 the way down as shown. set a tilted line just back fron the tip of the mouth, and bring it back into the head circle with a gentle outward curve. when it runs with the circle, bring it up into the head to create the lower jaw. add the eyeridge just below the bump.
ANGLED: take the line back and create the top line of the horn, but dont draw the bottom line. take a matching upturned line above the splitting line from before and take it back in an arc. then take the splitting line and take it back, to create the other horn. then make the lower line for the horns. following your arching lines and create that bit of skin that is at the base. add in the eyeridge, again following your arching guides, jus below the top line for the closer horn. at the end of the muzzle, add a bump on the edge and a matching nostril ridge just in the muzzle. split the mouth a bit more then 3/4 the way down. add a small tilted bump just back of the end and take it back into the head with a small curve. once the jaw line hits the circle, bring it up into the head a small bit to show the jaw.

NOW UNSPLIT THE TUT

4. add in the pupils and clean up your lineart!

5. add in whatever details you want- i chose a plated nose, segmented horns, plated belly, and small spines down the back.

6. practice! try a few different poses, and create expressions!
