How to Draw Bearded Dragon
Step 1:
Start by creating a pointed curved oval and shape it into a head.
Step 2:
Now, form a smile by drawing a semicircle and adding curved lines to create fur texture around the neck.
Step 3:
To create the eyes, draw a small circle and slightly bigger circles. Draw another circle a bit farther from the eyes, as shown in the picture.
Step 4:
Sketch the forelimb with two simple lines for the upper and lower parts of the leg, adding a rounded shape for the foot with fingers.
Step 5:
Add another forelimb as shown in the picture.
Step 6:
Draw the hind leg similar to the forelimb, with more pronounced bends for the thigh and calf, ending in a larger foot.
Step 7:
Add another hind leg as shown in the picture.
Step 8:
From the rear of the body, draw a long, gradually thinning tail that curves up and then back down.
Step 9:
Add lines and shapes to the body to represent the bearded dragon’s unique patterns and textures.
Step 10:
Add spots and stripes on the body of the bearded dragon.
Step 11:
Add details to the tail of the bearded dragon’s body.
Step 12:
Color the bearded dragon in appropriate shades, typically including browns, tans, and greys, and add shadows for a three-dimensional effect.
