Use the caricatures of real people to add visual depth to show attitude and style. What is your dragon thinking, and is there a reason behind a cheeky smile or crooked frown? Even the position they stand or hold their shoulders conveys how they feel. You’ll be surprised how believable a dragon becomes by adding a hint of human emotion or facial resemblance. This helps build a back-story or inner personality, which gives them more intent as a dragon. One way to give a dragon character is to add elements of your real-life inspiration. Often a caricature magnifies parts of the face that are either increased or decreased. Take a look at caricatures and the things that pop out when identifying features are drawn. ĭo you have a favorite celebrity, singer, or person that inspires you? This aspect is called character-building and is essential for your dragon’s character.
All of these combined animals or parts of animals also give you an idea of their anatomy. I also like pictures of molting animals, like parrots, to see how their wings look without feathers.Īnimals that inspire you in real life tend to make great prototypes for drawing a dragon.

Look at-bats and study how their skin membrane covers their bones. To some degree, there are pictures of birds that are also great for wing design and shape. I love lizards, salamanders, alligators, and crocodiles for getting the lizard look. Since nobody knows what a realistic dragon really looks like, you must rely on actual animal anatomy.
