How to Draw A Cartoon Dragon – Let's Get Started!

Step 1

Let's begin this guide on how to draw a cartoon dragon with the head of the dragon! Dragon designs are often inspired by real reptiles and animals, and this one has a face not unlike a crocodile's.

You can begin this design by drawing some oval shapes for the eyes of the dragon. These will have some lines above and below them to add to the facial expression.

The snout of the dragon will be drawn using some smaller curved lines to give it a bumpier look.

The mouth itself can be drawn as a wavy line to give it a smile, and there will be several pointy teeth poking out of it.

Finally, you can finish off by drawing a curved line for the jaw and then add some details such as the nostrils, horns and spikes on the back of the neck.

Step 2 – Now, draw the wings, back and tail

We will be adding quite a lot to your cartoon dragon drawing in this second step! First, add some round shapes for the pupils inside of the eyes to finish off the face for now.

Then, draw the bumpy underside of the neck. This will later extend to the armored belly of the dragon, but we won't add that for now.

Next, we will be adding the wings of the dragon. These are rather similar to a bat's wings in that they have a solid frame with leathery parts in between.

When those are done, draw a curved line for the back and the tail curling over. Then it's on to step 3!

Step 3 – Next, draw the arms and spikes on the back

For this third step of this guide, we will be adding some arms and spikes onto the back of the dragon.

The arms look a bit like the arms of a tyrannosaurus, and they are rather small compared to the rest of the body.

We will then be making this dragon look even more like a reptile by adding some pointy triangular spikes onto the back. That's all there is to it for this step, so let's proceed.

Step 4 – Now, add the first leg and the belly

In this fourth step of our guide on how to draw a cartoon dragon, we will add the rest of the belly along with the first back leg.

The back leg is curled over and drawn with a rounded line. It also has large pointy nails at the ends of the toes, as shown in the reference image.

For the belly and the base of the tail, we will be drawing more of those curved individual sections that are coming down from the neck.

With these done, we will have just a few final details that we will be adding in the next step of the guide!

Step 5 – Add the final details to your cartoon dragon drawing

Now you're ready to finish off this dragon with some final details! As you can see in our reference image, the other foot is visible as well, and that is the final aspect we shall add.

This one will look very similar to the other one in that it will have small toes with large, pointy nails at the ends.

Once you have added this other foot, you will be ready for any additional details!

There are many ways that you could go about finishing off the image, and this could include drawing a background or some extra details.

There are many different fun fantasy backgrounds that you could go for, and you could really let your imagination run wild! What kinds of settings can you think of?

Step 6 – Finish off your cartoon dragon with color

It's time to finish off this cartoon dragon drawing with some colors! In our reference mage, we showed you just one of the ways that you could go about coloring this cute dragon.

We used some light turquoise blues for most of the body, and then we went with pinks for the underside and the leathery parts of the wings.

These are definitely colors you could go for, but you should also feel free to express your creativity in any way you wish!

There are so many great colors that you could go for when finishing off this image. Choosing the colors is just a part of the fun, however.

You can also change up the art tools and mediums that you use in order to get some unique color tones. What will you pick to finish off this dragon?
