HI all!
Although I realise I'm not a regular on this site I have a conundrum that I would appreciate some help with. Since taking up learning manga artwork I must admit I've become addicted and am slowly improving, my problem however is this.....
I want to design a new tatoo for myself of, you guessed it..... a dragon! Do these creatures feature much in manga and if so where will I find some good examples to take the basics from???
Any help or tips you guys (and gals!) could offer would be much appreciated!

I don't read a lot of manga, but it you look around on art sites, you can probably pick up some good examples. I wouldn't say there is a "right way" to draw a dragon, and I wouldn't say that there's "a way" to draw a manga style dragon.

Each artist has different style, so manga varies from person to person...as with anything. Trying looking up some books on dragons (Dragonology is really good) and try to apply your own manga style to the pictures.

It also depends on how you want the dragon to look, if your looking for something that has an Asian style like manga, try looking up traditional Asian dragons...if I could remember what they're called.
