Description: Yes, It may not be as wonderful and colorful as dragon king's tutorials, but as you may already know, I no longer have Photoshop, and Paint is only good for (mediocre) cel shading. So it is a pencil drawing. Anyway, Quetzalcoatl (KET-zuhl-co-AH-tuhl)was an Olmec/Aztec god that was a feathered serpent, sometimes portrayed as a long feathery snake, sometimes as a man. You often see him in Aztec art and in statues. If you go to Mexico, you can see these amazing carvings, paintings, and temples. This tutorial is how to draw a modern version of Quetzalcoatl. If you want, you can color him. Most of the time Quetzalcoatl had blue and green iridescent feathers that are very pretty. I hope you have fun! If you notice, the steps are arranged in the colors of the rainbow.
