Questions and answers

What is the easiest dragon pencil drawing?

The baby dragon or the dragon in an egg: their outlines are simple and have few details. Once they feel easy, move on to the dragon head and the flying dragon.

Which pencil should I use for a dragon drawing?

A regular HB pencil is good for the outline: its lines are light and easy to erase. For shadows on the wings and scales, use a soft 2B or 4B pencil.

How do I draw dragon scales?

Do not draw every scale. Mark rows of small half circles on the neck, back and tail and keep the rest of the body as a clean outline, so the drawing does not look crowded.
