Artist @DevinElleKurtzArt shares her approach to drawing dragons! Her method draws inspiration from using real reptiles, such as horned lizards and leopard geckos, focusing on specific features like horns and face shapes to enhance her fantasy creature designs. This lesson also emphasizes the need to simplify subjects into basic shapes, like cylinders and triangles, to easily adjust forms. For instance, mixing a gecko's head with crested gecko spikes can result in interesting dragon ideas. By the end of this lesson, you'll understand how to make creatures that look both imaginative and believable by modifying real animal anatomy.
