How to Draw a Dragon Sleeping Side 15

Step 15: Use the arc to the left of the head as a guide to draw the sleeping dragon's arm. Darken the sides of the arc but make the sides curvier to create the shoulder. Follow the path of the guide but curve the lines for muscle definition. Add a curved, pointy shape on the elbow for a spike. Don't darken the top part of the arc and don't overlap the shape for the dragon's head.

Step 16: On the lower, right side of the head, lightly sketch a small, curved line for the first hand. Draw the fingers as wavy shapes over the lightly sketched line. Add a small, triangular shape on the end for the claws. The fingers in the back are basically a short, curved line. Don't overlap the dragon's head as you draw the fingers and claws. On top of that, draw three more fingers with claws for the hand on the other side. The fingers in the back shouldn't overlap the ones in the front. The head should be resting on the hands.

Step 17: Use the lines on the left as a guide to draw the sleeping dragon's folded hind leg. Darken the path of the guide and on the right, draw the toes with a triangular claw at the tip. Don't overlap the shape of the arm on the right. Part of the claws will be hidden behind it. Darken the curved top part of the guide. Make the line a bit bumpier to give it some texture. Darken the left side of the guide. At the joint, draw a curved, pointy shape for another spike.

On the right corner of the triangle, draw a small, curved, pointy shape for a spike on the joint. Add a few curved lines around the spike. Darken the top part of the triangular guide. Draw three long, triangular shapes across the left edge of the guide to create the bottom part of this mythical creature's wing.

Step 19: Under the wing, on the right side, draw a series of angled lines for the part of the wing that attaches to the dragon's body. The shape of this limb should slope to the left and then back to the right. Add a few curved lines for the base of the limb and then draw a sloping line back up to the left.
