Here's how you draw: dragon

Step 1: Draw Basic Shapes
Dragon’s Head: Start with an elongated oval shape for the dragon's head. Add a triangular shape on one end for the snout.
Body and Tail: Sketch a long, curved body by drawing two parallel wavy lines that taper into a point for the tail.
Wings: Add two triangle shapes on either side of the body.
Legs: Sketch simple rectangular shapes for the legs, extending outward from the bottom of the body.


Step 2: Add Head and Facial Details
Eyes: Draw two almond-shaped eyes on the head shape.
Nostrils: Add two small circles on the snout triangle for nostrils.
Horns: Draw two curved lines extending upward from the top of the head for the horns.


Step 3: Define the Body and Wings
Wing Details: Add small horizontal lines in the triangles to create membranes on the wings.
Back Spikes: Draw spiky triangular shapes in alternating sizes running down the back to the tail.
Feet: Add sharp claws on the bottom of the rectangular leg shapes.


Step 4: Add Texture and Details
Scales: Draw small semicircle scales all over the dragon’s body by adding overlapping curved lines.
Wing Texture: Add veins on the wings by sketching curved lines starting from the wing’s base.
Tails: Draw a spade shape at the end of the tail to finish it off.


Step 5: Final Touches
Shading: Lightly shade under the neck, belly, and tail to give it a three-dimensional look.
Highlights: Erase some small lines within the eyes and claws to add highlights.
Atmosphere: Sketch some smoke or flame coming out of the dragon's nostrils to give it a fiery effect.

Now you have a fierce dragon ready to soar!
