Step 1.
We have a bit of ways to go so let's get started. Begin by making the shapes for the head, torso and back end. Connect the shapes using a neck guide, then draw the limb guide and facial guideline.

Continue to work on Nightmare Moon's head and face by drawing the bottom jaw, then begin the face by making the shapes for her big eyes. Once that is done you can add some hair on the back of her neck and add some nostrils too.

Description:
Hey guys, it's me your friendly Dragoart neighbor Dawn and I am back with a lesson that many people have requested from me. Today I will start the day with a bang and show you "how to draw Dragon Nightmare Moon", step by step. Now this is a dragon version of a Little Pony that I really love. I don't know what it is, but Nightmare Moon looks amazing as a dragon don't you agree? The wispy wings and the elegance of her stature as a dragon really goes will hand in hand with who she is as a pony. I do hope those of you who requested a dragon version of Nightmare Moon have fun recreating her in this form. I will be back soon with more tuts for you all so stick around because they day has just begun.
