Draw it step by step

Six steps to a dragon

New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.

1

Start with the head

Draw one big circle near the top. Leave room on the left — the snout goes there.

2

Belly and tail

A round belly under the head, then one long tail sweeping out the back.

3

Snout and horns

A short snout out the front, and two horns curving back over the head.

4

Give it a face

One big eye, a dot for the nostril, and a wide grin curving into the cheek.

5

Wing and legs

A wing with two scoops along the bottom, and two little feet to sit on.

6

Spikes and fire

Zigzag spikes down the back and tail, a line on the belly, and a puff of fire. Now this dragon is yours.

Practice on paper

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

Finished drawing? In a Kubrio project, your kid turns this paper dragon into a real animated film — with Kubrio's AI thinking partners at their side. The little tail swish below is a wink; the real clips go much further.

Ingenious projects that inspire kids to make things — until they find the thing only they could make.
Ages 6–13.
