Description Due to high demand, I decided to create a tutorial on how to draw a dragon's head in 3/4 view.
I know I'm not the best artist out there, but I hope this tutorial will help you in drawing dragons better.
Plus, this gives you a chance to see how I usually draw Nidhogg. Hope you like it! Enjoy!

Remember you can draw a dragon's head in many different ways! Only use this tutorial to help you learn how to draw the basic structure and shape of a dragon head! The rest is up to you! Let your creativity and imagination take over from there!

I think you should show all the shapes that you draw during the construction of the base of the drawing in 3D.

Thank you so very much for making this tutorial. I'm not good at drawing this kind of stuff, but after a few practices, I've got it down! I've made a drawing of my own dragon, and now, the rest of him looks lame! If you could do a body tutorial (I know that's asking a lot) for a humanoid dragon, that would be greatly appriceated. Thanks!

My 11 year old sister is set on drawing dragons so I searched for some bases/tutorial/references/etc for her to copy and I found this. But then I was bored and decided to draw with her and followed this since I have never drawn a dragon before xD
It came out great, Im surprised xD I havent finished inking though. And your shading helped me know how to ink it.
I wont upload it since I drew the same exact thing haha But it you wanna see it Whatever. Maybe Ill put it in my scraps.
ANYWAYS. I like the first few steps with the jaws and stuff. I look forward to drawing more dragons
Thanks!!
