Now in this third step you will start sketching out the shape of the Kirin’s face which is also like a horse. Once you have drawn out the nose of the beast you will add an eye shape and then an ear as well. You will then sketch out the hair or mane

This Fire Kirin is coming along nicely as you can see. What you will start doing here is start sketching out the facial fire design and then draw out the shape of the eye as well as coloring it in. You will then draw out or sketch more hair curl line

Well you have finally made it to your last drawing step and all you have to do now is add the remaining detailing hair lines as you see it here. Please take your time when adding the curly mane because you are going for a flowing fiery look as well a

Description: Almost everyone is into or interested in Japanese mythology in some way. I know that I am fascinated with creatures from Japanese and Greek mythology and because of that I would like to do another lesson on how to draw a Fire Kirin step by step. Now I already submitted a lesson on a Japanese Kirin but the picture is kind of ugly and boring which is why it probably never got voted on. I was going to replace the old tutorial with this new one, but then no one would have known it was there because the lesson wouldn’t show up as new just “updated”. So what I will do is just talk a bit more about the Japanese Kirin (although I don’t know what more I can say because I wrote like a five hundred word description on it already). There are many descriptions and tales about the Kirin and all of the myths are extremely interesting. The Kirin is sometimes referred to as the “Qilin” as well and is sometimes spelled as “Kylin”. But most people know of this mythical animal as being spelled as Kirin including myself. I wanted to draw a very cool looking Kirin so what I did was, take the colors and style of the diamond crested Phoenix and combined them with that of a typical Kirin. So now that I have said something interesting about this fabled animal, let’s now start learning how to draw a Fire Kirin step by step. There is a lot of steps but each one is very informative and easy to follow so you should have little difficulty when sketching it out. I shall return once again with two more lessons so like always stay tuned until I get back. Peace out people.
