Welcome friends!

Dragons are awesome creatures, inspire strength, power and majesty. The worship of dragons is something that attracts me a lot of Chinese culture, and that's why I wanted to draw one of these beautiful animals. Making the drawing was something that took me many hours of work (a whole night to be specific), because to make the filling I had to be very precise and focus the view very well. Here I show you the final result of my work, and later the process.

Materials:
-Paper sheet.
-Graphite pencil.
-markers ultra-thin.

I started by tracing the silhouette of the dragon with a graphite pencil. In this part I was very careful that the figure was good, since it is the starting point of the drawing.

Then, using an ultra-thin red ink marker, I highlighted the silhouette of the dragon. For this drawing I decided to use this type of marker because its thin tip allows to make very fine strokes, which help to form details in the smaller parts of the drawing.

In this part I began to fill the dragon, I started from this kind of flower. From now on I was free to draw whatever was coming out of my imagination. This is the part that I enjoy the most.

I kept tracing figures on the dragon's body, playing with the shapes and having fun while doing it. The only thing that I consider "bad" to do this type of drawings is that you have to fix your eyes a lot and that affects my health

You can see how the drawing was taking on an attractive aspect, as it filled with figures its interior.

After many hours of work I was able to finish the drawing. I was very satisfied with the result obtained.

I would definitely be delighted to see a real dragon, these mythological animals are beautiful and it would be spectacular to see them fly. What did you think of my drawing?, I hope you liked it, and that you enjoyed watching the process. I ended up exhausted after doing this job, but I was satisfied with the result.
