Description: Everybody loves dragons and dragons love everybody. I am submitting yet another dragon tutorial that will show you “how to draw a Chinese dragon tattoo“ step by step. After careful consideration I eventually came up with the wonderful drawing that you are about to be subjected to. I drew this Chinese dragon live with you all and it was originally supposed to be done for somebody that wanted to buy the design off me. As you can see I finished the artwork and now I will show you how to draw what I thought up from my imagination. To me, the Chinese dragon tattoo that I drew two days ago is probably the "best" dragon I have ever drawn. I mean that literally too. The scales, body, limbs, everything is so clean and soft looking making it a true gem for any need. Whether it be a poster, a tattoo, or maybe even art for next years school book covers. Whatever you can think up it most likely can be done. Anyways, if you were watching me the other day you already know that it took me a long while to finish the drawing I am about to submit. I did place it under the tattoo category and it is labeled for advanced artists, but anybody can give it a go. I will leave you once again with this tutorial on “how to draw a Chinese dragon tattoo” step by step. Peace out and have fun.
