To draw a Welsh dragon, follow these step-by-step guidelines:
- Start by sketching the basic outline of the dragon, including head, body, wings, tail, and limbs. The dragon's design is based on medieval art, so it features rounded scales and a distinctive shape.
- Draw the head with a sharp, pointed nose, curved eye shape, and known for the tongued mouth. Add a pointed ear shape on top of its head.
- Sketch the elongated body and add legs connected to the body base. Outline the underbelly using a wavy line with textured lines for detail.
- Form the tail curling out from the body.
- Draw the large pointed wing bone attached to the body, then add three curved lines extending from it, outlining the bumpy wings.
- Add details like scales, spikes, and claws that give it the unique Welsh dragon look.
- Erase unnecessary overlapping lines, refine shapes, and finalize the drawing.
- Color the dragon traditionally with vibrant red for the body, peach for underbelly and wings, and dark red for the tongue and inner ears.
This process can take about 30 minutes and is approachable for all skill levels with suitable materials: pencil, drawing paper, crayons/colored pencils, and optional black marker for outlines. Printable step guides and video tutorials are available for more detailed visual assistance.
