Hello, welcome to the second video of how to draw your dragon. In this episode I'm going to show you how to draw the general parts of the dragon anatomy, but this time it's going to be only a western dragon. I'm going to show you what we're going to see in the rest of the videos in a very generic outlook. Here I have a sketch I made of a normal western dragon. It's a simple design that has four legs and two pairs of wings, but you can also add many, many more, person wings and spikes and things. So to begin with, we'll start just looking at the head. Here I use Photoshop and I have a normal round brush. So of course we'll start learning this skeleton and why it looks the way it does and everything else. For this video I'm just going to show you the general kind of look in the dragon. So as you can see, it looks more like a horse mixed with a feral wild big cat, right? Because it has a thick neck and thick legs. And for this I'll just show you the way I draw the neck and everything else. You will see the muscles later on in the other videos. So this is just to show you the more general kind of look of a dragon. So to make it simple, we'll just start by learning several things about western dragons. So to make these dragons, you need to think of four leg creatures and just focus on that first. Because the wings can be a little daunting at first. Because well, no animal has those, right? So it looks like a big animal with an extra set of limbs. And that's just what they are really. They are an extra set of limbs, not so they are. So as you can see, I'm making a store so little short and I'm leaving the wings out on purpose right now. So as you can see, don't worry about not knowing what to do or how to draw it. You can just copy this and maybe find earlier things together. So I'm using more like reptile dinosaur kind of legs because some dogs or cats big cats don't have this kind of legs. They have them shorter. So the claws can be way different than this. This is just like for a quick example. And I'm using it to be pencil brush. It gives it this nice sketchy texture that I really enjoy drawing with. Here we have just like the legs and the tail. A very simple tail. Look at this one too. Hey, the tip is horrible. I know the tip. I think there's something about it later. And so we now go to the wings. This is the don't take part. As you can see, our little dragon has four limbs, a tail and a head which is like a dinosaur, a little bird or a wool for anything you want. So you can grab any of those animals and use them as inspiration. They'll be great. And so for the wings, just think of them as another pair of arms. Like if we were going to use a little pair of arms and think about some color, for example, you'll see that the arms are like this. Like it has a hinge here, then here, then you have like the paws, right? The legs as well. You have a hinge, then the knee, then another hinge, and then the paws. It's pretty much the same thing with the wing. The wing has a hinge. I'll explain later why you said located exactly here and not here or here. So yeah, you'll see why. So it's another kind of arm, right? A hinge just like this one. And another, and another hinge just like this one. And another hand with fingers if you wish. War fingers, you need. So as you can see, it's a different arm. It's just another arm. So if you think about it that way, it will be much easier for you to make your dragon's wings. So you can see they are simple shapes to show the movement where they are. And just, right? So I'll just lower the opacity in this one so I can start drawing and you can still see it. So here it goes. To make another the wing, think of it as a triangle like this. And the top of the triangle at the arm, because it goes like this. And those are the, it's like another arm, pretty much. That's all it is. You think of it that way eye promise is going to be simpler. There are many muscles in this arms. You're going to explore them in later videos in wings. And you can add the fingers. Think of them as bat wings or even birds have like arms. And this is like an end brain. Not all dragons have it, but it's useful or flying. So to make the hinges on the wings, simpler, just imagine fingers in a hand. And then you can do fingers with hinges. So you can move it like this. You can go like this. Like this. And then you can just go like this. Simple. It's truly simple ones you get a hold of it. And I wanted to explain something. In most dragons, you will see the wing structure ends in the tail. Or it starts at times you see it. It starts here and also over the back. And it ends here. Why? Because that provides them with extrostability. And you can have like the windman rings like this, you know? Unite it. It's quite incredible. I really like wings. In many other dragons, you'll see different kind of wings. Like have you seen Spyro? My character gets compared to Spyro quite a lot. And I noticed that Spyro has wings that look like this. And they finish in a little pole at his shoulder like this. So instead of going all the way to the tail, they just stay here. That's I think it's a design choice more than anything else. But it might be a little complicated for a dragon to fly, having such short wings. Still it works because it's a character. It's like her too. It works. Because have you seen Shrek? Well the dragoness also has pretty small wings and she can fly. And in the same story with his leaping beauty, the dragon is really fat and small wings and still can fly. So don't worry too much about that. But if you want to make a plausible physically and atomically correct dragon, we are going to learn anatomy. So you stop being scared of anatomy and start drawing it. So it will help you a lot. And you have a friendly dragon. You cannot spikes to it. And I don't know, tail spikes one lot. Whatever you want to your dragon is yours. So yeah, this is like the basic geometry. The anatomy and geometry of a western dragon. It's the general look because we are going to go more in depth with the rest. Or now I'll just give you like a really quick overview sketch, right? So this is a head and neck. It's like a tube. It connects to the chest. You can draw it as a novel. And you know, the spine just keeps going onto the tail. And then you'll on the pelvis. And then you have the legs and such. This is a very simplified drawing. It's not completely and atomically accurate, but it works. It's just a show you like the review. Or maybe you know the dragon. This is how it will look without a sketchy color. So yay. So that's it for now guys. And hope you enjoyed the second video. Subscribe and leave comments if you want.
