Step 20: Use the last line under the dragon's body as a guide to draw the other hind leg the same way. A big part of this leg will be hidden behind the first hind leg and body, so only draw the visible portions.

Step 21: Use the remaining lines and shapes as guides to draw the rest of the body. Simply darken the outer edges of the initial guides to create the shape of the earth dragon's body. Don't overlap the shape of the wing or the legs on this side of the body. Don't close off the tip of the tail. Add a line along the neck and underside of the body to create the fist part of the scales.

Step 22: Draw a series of lines along the chest and underside of the body for the protective scales. Change the orientation of the lines as you draw them. Make them horizontal on the neck and vertical on the bottom. Draw a series of small, triangular lines along the top edge of the dragon's body for spikes. Don't overlap the shape of the wing as you draw the spikes on the back. Make the spikes smaller the closer they are to the tip of the tail. You can make the tip of the tail pointy or add a big club at the end using a few curved lines.

Step 23: At the top, to the left of the first wing, draw the wing on the other side using the first one as a template. Bend the shape in the middle and add the spiky claw at the top. Draw a long, spiky line at the bottom between the arcs of the first wing to finish the earth dragon's other wing.

Step 24: Go over the final sketch lines with a pen, marker or any other type of permanent ink. Take your time and be careful when you ink to avoid any accidents. After inking, get rid of every pencil mark with an eraser for a cleaner drawing.

Final Step: Color your earth dragon drawing! Use earth tones like dark brown for the horns, spikes, base of the wings and tail club. Using dark brown draw a couple of curved lines across the wing for extra detail. Use dark green for the top parts of the body. Leave the underside of the body, the lower jaw and the inside of the wing blank. Color the rest of the dragon's body using light brown or yellow.

Optional: Use light brown to add some shadows throughout the earth dragon's body. Draw random squiggly lines inside the wing using dark brown for veins. Draw a cast shadow underneath the body using gray and dark brown. Don't forget to pause the video to draw at your own pace.
