Description At last! An update on the tutorial! =¬=
Sorry for waiting. Life is complex ll'3

Well, accessories you can put on your dragon's head. Before you say anything: these are just a few basics, if you wonder if you can put something that does not appear here, the most likely answer is YES! Of course! > And how many accessories can I put on it? That's up to you: 4 ears and 1 horn? Why not. What if I put a fin on one side of the face and hair on the other? You will know, it is your dragon XD

So let's get to the heart of the matter:

1. Horns: almost all dragons have horns (is it due to infidelity? Maybe... XD) and the shapes and quantity can vary from 0 to... what has been said, the artist's criteria, as if you want to make a hedgehog dragon with 1000 horns (I don't know where you will put them all, but the laughter will be assured XD) Nature can provide you with many useful references to literally copy them. From goats to antelopes, to deer or bulls, any animal with antlers can be a source of inspiration, and if not, imagination   

2. Ears: not so common, but very useful for expressiveness. As reptiles they are supposed to be, the more "realistic" dragons tend to have earholes in the back of the jaw, with no pinna, but that is not an impediment to putting ears on your dragon. Again, shape and size are personal choice and again, nature bestows  

3. Others: why does everyone love dragons? Because they are cool. And why are they cool? Because you can put almost anything on them and it sure looks good on them. Fins and crests, feathers, hair, whiskers or tentacles and spines are some examples of accessories that you can put on your dragon's head. Can you think of any? Try to put it on, surely one way or another you will be right.

When it comes to accessories, there is only one thing to keep in mind: in which location of the head they will go, because the underlying anatomy of the skull must be respected. What does that mean? Well, I don't think you want to put an antler on the dragon's chin (or maybe you do... O_O)

In any case, my recommendation is that you experiment. Experiment a lot and have fun doing it, which is how you learn best. And don't worry if it goes wrong, if there is no proportion or it is not what you expected. That is normal. Take a good look at the mistakes that make you not like the result, learn from them and try not to repeat them on the next try. And remember: drawing "well" is not a goal, it is a path that really has no end, because you can always improve or learn, so enjoy it
