Description: Today at DragoArt.com, we will be learning how to draw a strong and powerful dragon called the Bird dragon. This large beast has the similar bright colors of a macaw. Its primary colors are red, blue, and yellow. I choose these colors because I wanted to base the bird side of the dragon with a macaw. Whenever I make different varieties of bird dragons, I tend to make their bird sides sorted by different bird species. In my drawings I like to mix them up to make them more interesting. As you can see the dragon’s habitat is in the forest. It took me time to figure out a nice habitat for this creature to fit in. My mom helped me decide an awesome background for this large colorful beast. I thought to myself, since this dragon has the bird side of a macaw, it should live in a rain forest, just like a macaw. So that’s exactly what I did. Anyways, let’s get into the details about our bird dragon. First off, this creature looks extremely evil. Indeed it is vicious and evil. It’s not like your average cute and cuddly macaw, this beast can whip up a fire. It eats plenty of meat a day. Its favorite food is humans! Yum sounds good to me…ahem, yeah right .
