Description: So I hope you all liked my last tutorial on my fairy tattoo she came out sweet right? After I drew her I was thinking, there is a lot of people out there that have tattoos of dragons. So I decided to do a tutorial on how to draw a dragon tattoo step by step. This is the one thing that I can say I really like about tattoo art; you can play with pictures and characters all you want until they look ultra cool. The dragon tattoo that I am going to give you a lesson on is really cool and traditional looking in a lot of ways. The body resembles a Chinese dragon and the head resembles a more typical dragon that you are use to seeing in movies or video games. Like I mentioned in many tutorials in the past, when I started drawing, my art addiction was dragons and fantasy like concept art but mainly dragons. There are so many different looking dragons that I drew in my drawing portfolio. So many in fact, it is hard to keep track on what I have. I will sometimes have to go threw my folder full of sketched art that I have done over time just to remember what I drew in the past. The funny thing is, when you look at your old drawing, it is so easy to pick out all the faults in the pictures. Like I am able to tell what looks good and what doesn’t, what lines need to be fixed and which ones are fine. I mean it is really cool to see how much you have progressed over time. Even here on DragoArt, I go back and look at some of my early work and I’m like “did I draw that?”, it’s pretty strange. Anyway I must have said all I can say about the different types of dragons I submitted. With this tutorial I wanted to draw you a cool looking dragon tattoo that I myself would put on my body (if I was ever in the market for getting a tattoo that is). The colors are vibrant and well coordinated. This drawing lesson will show you how to draw a dragon tattoo step by step. I hope you have fun with this one I will be back tomorrow or later today with more drawing fun so stick around gang.
