These are the marked up research drawings I used. For this drawing I use the ‘reference’ just to study the subject matter, then drew from imagination.
I noticed how a Chinese dragon was more decorative with almost cartoon like eyes.
I also studied different animals with similar anatomical features to the dragon.
I also focused largely on the silhouette rather than the details. Adding only a few details to suggest form.
A dragon is such a complex and detailed creature. In the end I stepped back from the detail. Remember in drawing icons, the main goal is to create something readable.
