Description: Hello everyone and welcome back to another fun filled lesson here on Dragaort.com. Today I thought I would upload something spectacular and show you folks once again how to draw a phoenix, step by step. Out of all the fantasy creatures ever talked about, the phoenix is by far my favorite of all time. I was looking at all the phoenix drawings I made over time and there was one in particular that stood out to me that I really wanted to recreate again. It was the one that had the fiery wings, blue chest diamond and frost blue legs. I had soooo much fun with creating this bird of rebirth and I think it really does show. I don't want to speak too much because I do want you guys to enjoy this tut. I will be back with more exciting lessons so stick around.
