Let us start with a head guide followed by the neck guide.

In this next step you will start drawing out the thick horn and small spikes along the jaw. This is going to be Toothless' frills.

Description: I know a lot of you have seen this image on my Facebook page and for some it is something that you would like to tackle as a lesson. So since I already planned on making a tut on "how to draw realistic Toothless", here is what a lot of you have been waiting for. The overall complexity of recreating your own Toothless in realistic form shouldn't be too bad. I mean, if you are novice artist that hasn't done much drawings on dragons, you might find this lesson difficult. But even if you do, I don't want you to shy away from the task because the only way to learn how to draw dragons is to challenge yourself when making one. Anyways, if Toothless where a real dragon this is what I envision him looking like. I hope you all have an awesome time with this tut, I shall return in a few. Adios folks and enjoy.
