I offered to draw a step by step instructions to help a nine year old boy learn to draw a dragon .. I was surprised to find that not only did the nine year old want it but my friends here at draw space .
So guys .. here it is my Tutorial on Reese the Dragon ....I named him after the boy good luck and most of all have fun .


Please let me know if you have trouble downloading as i am very new to this .

Kim,

This is easy to download and very good for your first tutorial!!!!

Laura

That is an excellent tutorial, Kim. I can hardly wait to find enough time alone to try it..
I love the dragon..
Thank you for going to all the trouble for Reece... AND the rest of us...

no problem you guys I just hope it explains it well .. It was fun to do so please if you like this I will take request as long as jeanette and brenda and laura have no problem with it ..

Great Dragon Kim! I'll show it to the boys after school.
Paulette

This is so very nice Kim!! Thank you!

you are welcome .. I just hope who all wants it can download it.. I hope its not to big for the dial up people I want it to be user friendly .

Also I was hoping if you try it step by step or just draw it however can you post it here so I can see how its going ?
Kids even .. like Reeces drawing or your childerens I am really interested in seeing what they have done also

You know I don't know if its my settings or what but for some reason Kim, your tutorial will not open for me. I had the same problem with the one Jeanette posted for the portrait class and she sent it to me in my aol email. Can you do the same? I love the dragon too by the way. Its georgous!!! I am sure all of the kids and adults alike are going to love it. Maybe we can get some faeries going too?

oh thanks kim this looks like alot of fun. cant wait to try it. and hopefully i can get my kids to try it too. thanks again.
Lori

Kim wonderful tutorial!!! I finally got it to work. And again you are welcome!!! You use the colored pencils wonderfully!! So whens the next tutorial?

Kim you are a Doll! Lovely dragon and a great tutorial!!!!! Thanks again. HUGSSSSSSSS

I am not a professional lol but I write it how i do it .. I hope it helped.
Venus I have no problem doing the step by step not sure thou if I should have called it a tutorial cause really I have no art background .. I just picked up a pencil one day and well started drawing .

Reece had just seen the Tutorial.. and I am printing it out for him as I type..

He has just gone to bed as it is Wednesday night here.. He will be dreaming dragons for sure..


Thank you so very much he is thrilled!!!! (insert clappies here)


JJ

Edit:-

I would have been here sooner, but for some reason the sight wouldn't let me log ion for 2 days.. And I tried 3 times today.. It is 8.30pm here, and I am in now Phew!!!!!

I hope it is easy for him .. let me know how he does please post his work for me to see

Hi

This is a lovely dragon. I downloaded it and print it no problem.
I will definetely give it a try.
I don't have color pencils yet, but I know where to get some. hehe color pencils..........YES!
It's a great tutorial, just what I needed.
I have my young cousin, he is planing to refinish his bed room (medieval theme) and he was asking me about a dragon. Is it ok to use yours. If so I will let him know. He is starting to draw too. He might be able to do it himself, who knows. I would sure encourage him to do so.
Thanks for the tutorial. Just lovely.

please feel free to use it .. would be cool to paint on his bedroom wall ...with a castle behind him ....

I surely will. He is here for the next couple of days..

For some reason I don't get email notifications for new posts to this thread even tho' I have enabled them??

Sorry for my late reply..

We have a busy couple of days lined up the Grandkids and I.. They have craft things to finish for their mum and Reece wants me to show him some watercolour basics..

I love it!!!!

Thanks much.
Here is my sketch and my first color drawing.
Got me some Prisma Color Pencils this morning.

Thanks for the tutorial.
It is surprising how many peoples loves dragons.

Hi Kim, I've just tried to download your excellent tutorial, but it's the wrong format for me. Is there any way you could do it in a jpeg format, or tell me how I can make an application to read it as it is? Sorry to be such a pain! Sylvia

It wanted to contribute or to give a suggestion in relation to this drawing or to its development with pencils of colors, pencils PRIMACOLOR are perfect for this work, it is due to work always applying the clear colors and very smoothly without much pressure on the paper little by little it is graduated the intensity as the color gradually acentuan the parts to stand out

Sorry my ingilsh is very poor

thats huge .. I can see it but maybe for dial up they will not lol .. nice start

Sorry

Disculpen mi inglés es muy pobre, espero ayudar

Su inglés es bueno. Las gracias i han impreso esto para mi nieto

I have no clue what you guys are saying LOL

Hello Kim, I am explaining on my English, who is very poor, I I use the translator of Google.

can you read english ?

My ingl'es is very basic, which is learned in the school, need to study English

This will be a good way to learn, if we don't drive you crazy.
Paulette

Don't click it and Jeanette, Laura, Kim, Venus, Brenda can we please run tutorials through one of ya'll so we know it is a legit posting? new Hd and NOW a virus already . Love this forum but not the uglies that are popping up. I thought it was a link to an outside tutorial.

Hi Pammy,
We've been having a hard time with the spam crap. There is a report button on the post. Click it and tell them if it is a single post or a whole thread. Normally they tell you not to click on anything, unless you recognize the source. In this post I would say it should be a PDF file. There are some very ugly people out there, eh.
Paulette

Here is some LOOOOVE Pammy ....( BIG SQUEEZE ) ( BUNCH OF KISSES ) lol soory dont want anyone feeling left out

Yes we do are best to keep the spam out of here .. I check it everyday ..when I see it I stomp on it ....I never click on links unless I know who is sending them .

awesome...here is a step by step from kim from a good while back..i thought some one might be interested..i am..

very nice tuturial, thanks Kay for diging this up, and thanks Kim, I've downloaded the lesson and will give it a try when I find some time, I have some projects in hands now but will finish them soon

yeah this is a old one lol ... I did it for a guys son who wanted to learn how to draw dragons ...course i am no expert in dragons but I do like them .

Actually that "guy" was me, I am not a guy lol. My Grandson Reece loved that tutorial, and has drawn many dragon since this one. Thank you again..

Cheers JJ

holy cow !!! I am sooo very sorry hun ... I knew it was for your son and I did it for him glad you liked it .

No worries. I sure don't look like a guy.. He was thrilled with the lesson. He printed it out and has it in his art folder. He is going to be 11 years old this month, just hard to believe that was 2 years ago!!!

Thanks a million, Kim! What a cute dragon, I'll draw it and post it tomorrow.

wow two years really .. man I have been here a long time lol well let me know if he wants yet another lesson I would be happy to work on one ... I love kids and showing them the easy side of the lines ...I love the saying ...Please color outside the lines ...I think it shows creativity .

Mindy I cant wait to see your progress

Well, here's my progress. I've deviated just slightly from your dragon in the shape of the head, but I like him ok this way. Now for the coloring. All I have are starter sets of watercolor pencils. One set is Faber-Castel, the other is from a Reader's Digest Watercolor Pencil set and not even labeled by brand. Might be cheap pencils if not labeled huh? Oh well I'm trying them out now for better or worse...

your dragon looks great.....as for the pencils I have no clue but I have seen art done with crayola crayons so its not always the bfrand of a pencil ..good luck

This is my first dragon AND first color pencil drawing ever. Used WaterColor Pencils (dry on dry) on Strathmore sketch pad, finished size 8"x6", took about 30 minutes for initial sketch and 1 hour to color (I'm very slow and precise). I'm posting this now because once I take a wet brush over it, who knows what it'll look like. LOL good or bad I'll post it here, in case anyone's interested.

Didn't turn out so bad. The water brightened it up a bit, made it a little more interesting. Thanks again for the tutorial, Kim (even if it is from 2 years ago).

wow this is very nice .. you did very nice on the wings transparency I really like it ...glad i could help.

Thanks Kim for the nice tutorial on the dragon. I like your CP work

Thank you hun .
