Description: I have a few lessons on the phoenix right? Well how about a tutorial on “how to draw a cartoon phoenix" step by step. I came up with the idea last week and all it took was a member to request such a lesson for me to fulfill my idea. I had a ton of fun with this drawing yesterday when I drew it live. I know I missed live at six, and I do apologize for that but I had to do some extra work for the site which is why I didn’t show up until nine. Anyways lets get back to talking about the cartoon phoenix shall we? I have basically said all there is to say about the phoenix, so all I will talk about is the drawing itself. Cartoons are easy to draw once you get the hang of it, and if you combine your cartoon drawing skills and draw a favorite mythical creature, you end up with a really cool design. This tutorial took me a few hours and I am really happy with the final results. Instead of incorporating the flames with the bird, I surrounded some tribal like flames around the cartoon phoenix in a very cool way. All in all you will learn "how to draw a cartoon phoenix step by step" with easy to follow steps and simple to read instructions. Have fun with this one guys, cause I know you will. Peace out and happy drawing.
