The Great Red Dragon of Revelation 12

Sorry this post is a little late! I wanted this project to be done last Sunday, but I kept noticing details that could be added to make it a little better. This post might seem a little random, but it helped me to practice the drawing skills and techniques that I know. This includes: drawing dragon heads, adding small details to half-finished ideas, and adding shading. The idea for this design came from my Mom, when she saw me drawing dragon head designs and challenged me to draw the seven-headed dragon from Revelation 12:3 "And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads." My initial idea looked like this:

I realized that this wouldn't work, for my drawing skills at least, so I changed the design to this:

I wanted a large center head that captured attention, so I worked on that next:

From this point, I moved quickly and kept less copies and saves, so when we see the next picture, I'm close to being done:

Add some details and cool effects:

Total, I think this project took about two weeks of short work times and lots of thinking. I really enjoyed working on the details of the project and learned some new techniques that I think will be useful for future drawings. I hope you enjoyed this post, and didn't mind the wait.

    I think it looks really good. I definitely couldn't draw something like that. The artist gene skipped a generation! :) I haven't seen the design since you started adding the details. It looks very good with the coloration, but I really liked the crowns and especially the steam/smoke coming from the lead dragon's nostrils. That's pretty cool. Great job!

With Apologies to Robert Frost

I have a class for school called Speech. This is supposed to help me learn how to stand properly while speaking, pronounce words properly, and so on. The most recent section is on how to give meaning and feeling to a  poem when reading one out loud. My teacher, Mrs. Autrey, has been reciting poems to us as examples, and she uses a variety such as happy poems, sad poems, thoughtful and so on. One of them that caught my attention was a funny remake of the famous poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost.   The original is one of my favorite poems, and I have always loved the other poetic works of Robert Frost. Here is the original poem: Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening By Robert Frost   Whose woods these are I think I know.    His house is in the village though;    He will not see me stopping here    To watch his woods fill up with sn...
