"Welcome I'm Lars Erik Robinson and my company is Lars Arts all around artainment. Today we are going to talk about how to draw a Chinese dragon maybe for a tattoos that you normally see it on. I start here with a light pencil drawing of it and what we have is an almond shaped looking eye right here. And then the beak comes up in the front and it comes out way up here. So basically you want to have a lot of wavy movements maybe imagine a mustache on him that comes back. So try to get the sweeping movement of a s shape here, or a c shape so it goes back and don't be afraid to continue the, when you are doing that, continue the shapes. So the arm comes up it's smaller arms normally. And when they do it for tattoos they try to leave a lot of bold,bold lines. The dragon. Dragon for tattoos. So this would be the final sketch and then when you go to transfer that over you actually would press that on to the skin. You shave the skin off, press this drawing right onto the skin and just wet it down, it will transfer right on to the skin. And that's what they use as a base for the tattoos. Thank you all so much for joining me. How to draw a Chinese dragon."
