Draw it step by step

Six steps to a baby dragon

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

1

Start with the head

Draw a big circle near the top. Baby dragons have giant heads.

2

Draw the eggshell

A round bowl under the head with a zigzag top. Make the points big and pointy.

3

Body, horns, and frills

Two curved lines join the head to the shell. Add two little horns and a zigzag frill on each cheek.

4

Give it a face

Two huge dot eyes, a wide snout with two nostrils, and a happy smile.

5

Wings and a tail

A stubby wing on each side with two scoops underneath. Then a curly tail over the shell.

6

Finishing touches

Two lines on the tummy, a crack in the shell, and a puff from its first sneeze. Now this baby dragon is yours.

Go further

Now draw a baby dragon trying to breathe fire for the first time.
