You Can Draw . . . with Katie Cook 005: A Cute Baby Dragon!

This week’s lesson comes straight from a hotel desk at an actual comic convention! Behold . . . A cartoonist in her natural habitat: a hotel room with only an iPhone and paper for company.

Step 1:

First up, draw some circles… Like so!

Step 2:

Now add a beak, a pair of horns, a tail, and some stubby little arms. Don’t forget the feet…all dragons need feets!

Step 3:

Don’t forget his wings and a pile of gold for him to sit on! Dragons love to horde treasure.

Step 4:

Inking! Go over your pencil lines with a pen or marker.

Step 5:

Erasing! (This is pretty self-explanatory. Note the big eraser in the picture.)

Step 6:

Coloring! I pulled out my fancy watercolor paints… But you can use markers or colored pencils, too!

Step 7:

TA-DA! Behold…A finished baby dragon! Isn’t he cute? I wonder what mischief a baby dragon could get into…It may be a cartoon idea worth exploring!
