Hello Folks!

I love illustrating textures and details.
Reptiles are creatures that I love to draw because they have so many textures and dragons are my favorite mythological creatures.

The dragon that I present to you is based on the Strong Jaw Creature, a powerful dragon capable of destroying everything in its path with its incredible jaw.

I know it is a bit confusing because I only worked with charcoal and it was very difficult to differentiate tones,
that is why I will show you step by step how I did it and you can differentiate all its parts.

The process:

  • The sketch was a bit simple, just take the position of a dragon as a reference and then add elements to it.

  • I started by illustrating the jaw, it has a very strong coating due to the blows it gives with it.


  • I painted the jaw with the charcoal pencil and used the brush to blur and create lighter tones.

  • The second image is the covering of his jaw, it is the characteristic part of this dragon.


  • Now I will paint the face, I made her eyes very small, perhaps that is why it is not distinguished very well, however in the image you can see where it is.

  • Then I made details on the face, like adding horns and rustic elements.


  • I added a lot of details so that the skin looks quite rustic, I highlighted the details with the moldable rubber and the gel pen, this gives a little light.

  • The first image shows the right side of the dragon, a little hidden, in the second image I already added part of its neck, it is not that long, it is like its chest.

In this part I drew the left side of the dragon, I wanted to make better shaped scales and some horns to make it look more aggressive.

I finished after 16 hours!!!

This job was a lot of fun because, I really enjoy drawing textures, although I had to use other materials to detail it better.

I will be drawing different dragons since I would like to create a collection on this, so I will use more than just charcoal to make my next illustrations.


I hope you like it and I want to thank you for coming!

see you to the next post.

Roll out!

Fantastic work. Is Strong Jaw a character from a novel?

Hi Sidekick!! I think I was inspired by a Munste Hunter´s Creature, it is quite similar because it also attacks with the jaw. i dont remember the name :/

good application of the technique my friend but I think the problem is more graphic than for the colors, to differentiate it better you must make a better composition...

Yes, maybe the position, I also think that using the same tones in all the illustration causes the problem, the next one I will do it from the side and I will use graphite too! Thank you!

great bro! meticulous work, it would take me days to do something like this XD. Good luck!
