How to Draw a Bearded Dragon
If you want to learn how to draw a bearded dragon, then start this lesson. This guide is very simple and helpful.
I suggest you complete another interesting lesson in which I will show you how to draw a bearded dragon. The lesson consists of nine steps that even a beginner can easily repeat.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to draw a bearded dragon. This is a very unusual creature that lives in dry forests or sandy deserts. In fact, this is a lizard, which, because of its formidable appearance, began to be called a dragon.
The bearded dragon looks unpleasant because its body is covered with small spikes. Across the throat are numerous elongated spikes that extend to the sides of the head.
These spikes are a bit like a cropped beard, hence the name of the animal. The animal is able to change its body color. For example, in case of danger, the cervical region swells and acquires a dark color, while the rest of the body brightens.
In our drawing, the bearded dragon looks quite harmless, even very cute. I hope you enjoyed learning a few facts about the bearded dragon and want to get started on the tutorial as soon as possible.
