Description: Hey guys! Time for another dragon yet again, but this is going to be on a black dragon with firey traits. Because this beast is in dark blue/green background, I had to create a bluish green subtle skin tone so it will seem to be fitting within the background. This beast is bulkier than the white dragon, which is more noble than this one. I like to have the idea that a dark creature such as this should have sinister traits and whatnot. Make sure you get yourself a few nice tools to prepare your drawings with. Take your time and do not pressure/rush yourself as you progress with the steps. Be sure to check out my other lessons on dragon anatomy to further your understanding about the anatomy of these creatures. Anyways, I hope you'll enjoy this lesson I finished live, thanks so much for viewing and stay tuned for possibly more dragon tturoials! Don't forget to let me know what you think or how you did.
