Below are step by Step concept design sketching and drawing dragon head online lesson.


Step one, I just draw basic construction of the head shape along with four horns.  If you notice the shape looks like a goat skull or a big buffalo as see in image 1.
Step 2, I start to add major detail part of the dragon's head such as eyes, nose, and some spikes or fangs.
Step 3, the face is almost complete most of the facial structures are there, except we need to draw and shade in some texture for its skin to show roughness and scales.
Step 4 I draw using smaller line to create texture on the dragon's skin.  It should look rough, thick, and bumpy with variety of scales.  We are done with the drawing, now we can get to the shading part.

Step 5, I shade in some dark gray to make its skin into medium tone rather than leave it the same as the background.  Then in image 6, I already fill in the medium gray to the whole head, except the horn.  Notice the transition toward the tip of the horn are toward lighter shade.  Step 7, I sketch more detail on to the skin again.  And the final step, I add in some lighter value onto a few spot especially on the nose or snout.  Then some hot spot for highlight.  Now we are finish.  Watch the drawing video tutorial along with the images for better understanding of the drawing instruction.
