Sci-fi and fantasy artist Cynthia Cummens gives us more tips on how to draw dragons.


Our latest article by guest author Cynthia Cummens shows how to draw dragons. Here are some more tips on drawing dragons from Cynthia:

For years, artists have been drawing beautiful and magnificent dragons. They are mysterious creatures which captivate us, and the ways to draw them are as limitless as our imagination. Remember a few simple ‘rules’:

• Understand, at least in a basic way, the anatomy of horses, alligators,

crocodiles, birds and cats (just to name a few). That way, when you

draw your dragons, you can focus on the story you’re telling rather than

worrying about anatomy.

• Gather your photo references before you begin!

• Watch movies about dragons to see how other artists conceptualized

their appearance and the ways in which they sit, walk and fly.

Cynthia is a very accomplished artist and her website is very cool for anyone who loves Star Wars, like me. Give it a visit!
