How to draw Toothless in a cool way. How to draw Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon

If your child wants to draw a dragon, then step-by-step drawing will make this task very easy.

We offer you several lessons from which you will learn how to draw a dragon step by step.

You can help your child draw both simple dragons and complex, mysterious mythical creatures that are the heroes of many fairy tales and legends.

We will need a standard drawing set:

paper;
a simple pencil;
eraser;
felt-tip pens, colored pencils or paints with a brush.

You definitely need to take care of the young artist’s workplace. It should be comfortable, well-lit and suitable for the child’s height. It is better to give him a separate table for such activities, and hang previous works nearby. It is important for a child to know that his parents appreciate his efforts.

What does a dragon look like?

No one knows exactly what a real dragon should look like, so a child can give free rein to his imagination. But some mandatory features must still be present in the drawing.

Dragons are usually depicted as huge lizard-like creatures with a long powerful tail, a large head on an elongated neck and strong clawed paws.

The body of this mythical character is covered with scales and sharp growths. Often the appearance of a terrifying creature is complemented by large wings and a massive jaw, and fire spews out of the monster’s mouth.

But it is not at all necessary to recreate this terrifying picture in a child’s drawing. A kind smile and big open eyes will make your little dragon very cute and friendly, even if not so realistic.

Drawing a dragon step by step: lessons for beginners

To make the drawing neat, you first need to draw the dragon with a pencil step by step, that is, make a sketch. If you draw something wrong, you can easily erase the extra lines.

There are many options for drawing a dragon. Choose any of them with your child and start creating!

Cartoon dragon. Method 1

We make a sketch: first we draw a small circle, which will be the head of our dragon, then a circle of a larger diameter, it will become the tummy. We connect these circles with a curved arc - this is how we will mark the line of the back and neck. Drawing a wavy line from the lower large circle, we outline the tail of the animal.
Draw two small ovals near the dragon’s belly, these will be the legs. Draw a small bean nose, which should slightly overlap the head. Two curved lines indicate the wings. Then we draw the second lines of the neck and tail, as shown in the figure. The part of the neck that is adjacent to the body should be thicker.
We continue to detail the drawing, as shown in the picture. First, let's work on the head of the beast: draw small ovals for the eyes and nostrils and a curved line for the mouth.
We draw jagged lines on each wing, connect the legs and torso with a curved arc, and draw a small triangle at the tip of the tail. Three elongated ovals on each side will indicate the shape of the front legs.
We make the final touches: draw stripes on the tummy and lower part of the tail, add spots on the body, draw teeth along the entire length of the tail and neck, draw ears on the dragon’s head. We use bold dots to denote the pupils of the eyes, draw lines on the wings, and draw on the toes. Near nose, you can depict puffs of smoke. Now we erase all the extra auxiliary lines and color the drawing with felt-tip pens or pencils.

The charming friendly dragon is ready!

Cartoon dragon. Method 2

First we create a sketch. Draw a small circle, it will become the head of the dragon. Then we add two rectangles to this circle (neck and jaw).
We continue to work on the sketch: draw a large circle for the body and several small ovals for the legs and tail.
After we have outlined the main parts of the dragon's body, we outline them with a thick line, as shown in the figure. In this case, you need to smooth out sharp corners.
We draw a hand; it will be alone in the picture, since our animal is standing sideways. Let's draw two eyes.
We detail the picture: add wings, spikes, stripes on the tummy, nostrils and a pair of sharp fangs.
All that remains is to paint the dragon and hang the result of your efforts on the wall!

Circles of different diameters denote the head, jaw, upper and lower torso. We connect the circles with each other using a curved line.
Draw two wings and a back line.
We finish drawing a curved tail with a triangle at the end, front and hind legs.
Draw lines along the inside of the wings and notches on the back and tail. Then we begin to work with the head of the animal: we draw in the eye, nostrils and line of the mouth. You can give the dragon any facial expression, with us it will be kind and harmless.
We erase all the extra lines and draw in more detail the head and paws.
We outline the outline of the drawing with a thick line, draw spots on the body, claws and color the dragon.

Drawing a dragon step by step: for advanced

If all the methods presented above seem too simple to you, try drawing a more realistic fire-breathing dragon.

Draw a small oval of the head, inside of which you need to place an oval of smaller diameter. We draw several lines to the head to make spikes.
Below we draw a circle of larger diameter (the dragon’s chest) and connect it to the dragon’s head with two lines.
We denote the body and tail with a large curved curve, then draw two lines along the contour of this curve.
Draw four large and several small ovals (front and hind legs), add sharp claws at the ends of the paws.

Using several curves we outline the outline of the wings.
We begin to detail the sketch: draw an open mouth, spikes on the head, make the lines smoother.
We draw the eyes, teeth, scales, spikes on the neck and tail. Don't forget about the dragon's fiery breath.
Remove the auxiliary lines and add color.

The fire-breathing dragon is ready!

Dragon head drawing

In this tutorial you can learn how to draw a dragon's head in detail.

We draw two circles, one of which seems to be behind the other.
We sketch the jaw as shown in the picture.
Three curved lines denote the neck.
We draw a trapezoid or a triangle (fin) on the head, and two cone-shaped figures, they will mark the place from where the horns grow.

We add horns to the dragon like a buffalo.
Draw a slightly squinted eye.
We finalize the sketch, adding details and smoothing out the angular shapes of the figures. We draw additional details: spines, fins and antennae on the chin.
Erase the auxiliary lines and make the final touches.
We color the work and apply shadows.

You can watch another detailed method of drawing a realistic dragon in the video.

Drawing a Chinese dragon

You can try to draw a Chinese fire dragon. It vaguely resembles a lizard and has no wings. The colors can be any, but traditionally these creatures are depicted as red or blue.

Draw two shapes as shown in the picture (the head and jaw of the dragon).
Draw two sharp triangles to the head, they will become horns.
A curved line denotes the contour of the body.
Using several lines we outline the dragon’s paws, its claws, teeth and tongue.
We draw the details as shown in the figure, erasing everything unnecessary.
Draw an auxiliary line along the contour of the body, then draw a fiery flame.
All that remains is to color the work.

Drawing the dragon Toothless

If your child likes the cartoon “How to Train Your Dragon,” he will probably want to depict one of the main characters on paper - the Night Fury (or Toothless).

We draw two ovals and mark the center on them vertically and horizontally. We will get a sketch of the head.
We connect the ovals, draw a mouth in the center of the horizontal line, and above it we designate the nostrils.
We draw two arcs above the nostrils, draw eyes and two tubercles on the head.
Curved lines indicate the lower part of the mouth and eyes. Draw a small pupil and outline the shape of the ears.
On the inside of the ears we draw wavy lines, draw the teeth and tongue in the open mouth. We have a sketch of Toothless's head.
Now we sketch the body as shown in the figure.

Based on the sketch we made, we draw the front paws with claws.
Then we draw the right leg and claws on it. We use a wavy line to mark the outline of the left side of the body and draw another leg.
We draw the tail, making notches at its tip. Then we draw a few lines that will help us depict the wings.
We draw two triangles, the right one should be much larger than the left one.
Now inside each triangle we draw wings.
We make the final touches, erase everything unnecessary and paint Toothless, not forgetting to apply shadows.
Before offering any lessons to your child, objectively assess his abilities. If he is only taking his first steps in the art of drawing, you should not offer him complex tasks; let him first practice on simpler ones.

This will be the third drawing lesson based on the cartoon “How to Train Your Dragon-2”. A little earlier we could watch Lesya’s video tutorial follow the simple steps. But let's try to repeat Toothless's drawing using the simple steps of drawing in pictures.

Dreamworks studio tried very hard and created an amazing continuation of the cartoon from the life of Vikings and dragons of any variety and color. Inspired by the nature of Norway, cartoon designers and artists have created wonderful settings for the action and plot of the cartoon for children and adults. Brand new software, called "Premo" and "Torch", makes it possible to improve all facial animations, give the feeling of fat, the feeling of swaying loose skin and the movement of skin across all the muscles of the characters. So the realism and depiction have only improved. When the director agreed to the second part of the cartoon, he set the condition for the creation of a trilogy. So the third part of “How to Train Your Dragon” will not keep us waiting!

The author of the lesson was very pleased with his own result and, having received an order for a new cartoon drawing lesson, we will not be upset because we have already trained draw Toothless and let's do this again. Stay tuned for a new tutorial and get to know how to draw the dragon Toothless from “How to Train Your Dragon” step by step. Good luck to you all!

Step 1.

Let's follow simple steps. You can enlarge pictures and use step scrolling to make your work easier. But I also recommend sometimes reading our drawing tips carefully so as not to miss important information, detail or joke. We try our best to do this and not disappoint you!

First, let's draw simple shapes for the head, chest, sacrum, legs and base of the wings. Keep in mind that it is very flat, so the circle for the head should end up being a bit rectangular in shape. Also note that our dragon resembles a large or, its body is long and its legs are quite short.

Step 2.

At this stage, add his face to the drawing. Be careful when drawing his jaw, remember that the upper jaw is longer than the lower jaw when the mouth is closed, so don't draw it so that the lower jaw sticks out further than it should. Let's add cute bunny ears and two small protrusions between them and two on each side of the cheeks.

Step 3.

Now you can draw the shape of the entire body and spine. It will also act as a base and frame to house Toothless's other body parts. We will also draw a sketch line from the chest to the stomach to the very end of the tail, so that we get something like a snake.

Step 4.

Now draw Toothless's paws. The dragon appears to have rather thin legs, but they are very short with plump claws on each toe. The back and front legs are almost not bent, but the front legs should be bent slightly in the opposite direction from the head, and the hind legs - towards the head.

Step 5.

Now you can erase all the lines of the drawing frame! Once this is done, draw the large wing and tail fins at the base of the tail and at the end. Since this is Toothless, the fin is on the tip only on one side, since he lost part of his “friend”.

Step 6.

Now let's draw spikes on the dragon's back and a few small details on the face and stomach.

Step 7

Last step! Just add some folds to the wing shape and any other details you want!

Step 8

Now everything is ready! Here you can already paint, apply color, shadows, or leave the Night Fury as is! I hope you really enjoyed this tutorial, so feel free to leave requests and comment your thoughts on the tutorial. Also let us know how it turned out for you! Stay tuned for step by step drawing lessons.

Today we will draw the dragon Toothless (Night Fury) from the cartoon “How to Train Your Dragon” and “How to Train Your Dragon 2” using step-by-step tips on our slide.

Drawing a dragon is not at all easy, but we think you can do it! Also on our website you can find lessons on step-by-step drawing of other characters from these cartoons.

Stage 1. So, we begin our drawing with the stage of drawing all the auxiliary lines and circles, which we will later need to draw Toothless himself. We draw an auxiliary frame, which is highlighted in red in the figure below. Also at this stage we will draw the outlines of the dragon's head, which are shown in green.

Stage 2. At the second stage of our drawing, we will begin to draw Toothless’s face step by step. In our drawing, Toothless should have a threatening appearance, which we rarely, but still see in the cartoon “How to Train Your Dragon” and “How to Train Your Dragon 2”. We draw the dragon's eyes, his nose and open mouth, in which, despite the name Toothless, for some reason he has plenty of teeth)

Stage 3. We continue to draw our almost cute dragon. Now we need to draw him his horns and ears as follows:

Stage 4. We move on to the stages of drawing the massive body of the Toothless dragon. It is at this stage that we will begin drawing the upper part of the body, as well as the paws of the dragon. Don’t forget to add healthy claws to the paws; what would a dragon be without claws? Look at the picture below and draw...

Stage 5. Draw Toothless’s hind legs, and don’t forget to add large claws to them. How to draw paws is shown in the picture below, they are highlighted in green.

Stage 6. We finish drawing the body of our dragon by drawing a massive tail. We also don’t forget to add small spikes on the tail.

Stage 7. Our dragon is clearly missing something, and, of course, wings. We draw his large open wings using red auxiliary lines. Also at this stage we will finish drawing the tail by adding a few small details to it as follows:

Stage 8. Add a few small elements, and our Toothless is ready! Let's move on to the final stage!

Stage 9. And at the final stage we will color our resulting Toothless! What a beautiful dragon we have!

Drawing your favorite cartoon character is the dream of every child and even an adult. Toothless is a perfect confirmation of this. At first glance, dangerous and scary, this dragon becomes a crowd favorite thanks to its loyalty and subtle humor.

Who is Toothless?

Toothless is the hero of a fascinating animated series. According to the scenario, this dragon is a night fury and the most dangerous of all existing ones. He develops lightning speed of movement, has excellent hearing, can climb vertically, fly, swim and is able to navigate in space thanks to ultrasound. But not everyone knows how to draw Toothless with his habits.

The character and habits of Toothless

He is very loyal to his friend Hiccup. Has a specific, very playful quality.

He expresses his emotions through sounds and movements. Has very lively facial expressions, can sleep upside down, runs fast, climbs rocks and releases fiery flames if necessary. How to draw the dragon Toothless and convey his facial expressions is described below.

Characteristics:

Scar on the left side of the tail from a fall.
Able to regulate the intensity of lightning bursts.
Draws and understands pictures.
Painful beating of the ear or wings.
The color is black, a little blue, the eyes are green.

Drawing lessons

How to draw Toothless even for an inexperienced artist or child? The answer is simple: follow the recommendations. Everyone will have their own Toothless.

Before starting work, you should decide on the position of the character and think through every detail. Toothless is a very active dragon with pronounced facial expressions, which you should always remember when drawing.

We will need:

A sheet of white paper (plain, watercolor or cardstock).
Black pencil (HB, 2B and 5B).
Eraser.

White paper can be chosen either ordinary or professional for pastels or watercolors. The main thing is that it is monochromatic and easy to draw. The format is selected individually, depending on the desired result.

The pencil is a regular black for sketching and gridding that can be easily wiped off with an eraser, as well as a slightly richer one for drawing and a very bold one for drawing out contour lines. How to draw Toothless step by step is described below. In the meantime, you need to pay due attention to the tools.

The choice of eraser should be based on ease of use: it should not leave paint lines, gray spots, and also be hard. A good eraser is soft, comfortable, easy to work with, and it wipes the pencil completely without leaving any marks.

Drawing Instructions

How to draw Toothless and what is needed for this?

As with any type of dragon, you should start with a sketch. Make a sketch of the main character and other storylines that will be in the picture. You should start your drawing of the dragon with the oval of the head.

First, draw the lines of the circle using a few strokes. The result should be an oval with ears.

The second stage is the torso. It is also performed from several circles. We will attach the neck to the designated head. Let's look at how to draw Toothless with a pencil step by step below.

On the muzzle itself we draw two vertical lines in the middle and the same number of horizontal lines. This is where the eyes will be located.

We draw large ones looking down, a small nose, wide, long ears and small horns.

On the top of the forehead we mark dotted lines, which will later become scales.

On the round body we mark the contours of the paws and wings, like a bat.

Using ovals, we outline the future tail of the dragon with thin lines. After studying the instructions, Toothless step by step, you need to draw the main lines and wipe off the markings. The result should be something similar to a caterpillar, in which the links are separated from the body itself and reduced in size.

The third stage will be connecting all the links into one whole using smooth lines. Thus, the dragon will have a tail. It can be long or short - at the request of the author.

We erase unnecessary details and pencil lines and draw the dragon's legs. Next to the animal’s abdomen, carefully draw out each hind limb.

Once you have drawn the hind legs, you can start drawing the front ones. It is worth considering that mainly one front paw will be visible, and the second will be hidden by the round belly. This should serve as a reason for the correct placement of the dragon's legs in the drawing.

The fourth stage will be working on the animal's tail. It must be accurately drawn, giving the tip an arrow shape. Draw claws on all the dragon's legs.

Then we proceed to the image of the wings. Toothless's are beautiful and large. Depending on the position of the dragon in the picture, we select their size.

Features of drawing

Because of his facial expressions, Toothless allows you to play with his image. You can experiment with your eyebrows by drawing them pointing up or down. This way you can get a formidable or funny dragon.

Don't forget about his teeth. They are sharp, and they also need to be drawn on the tail, back and head of the dragon.

The final stage will be drawing the main lines. Once you outline Toothless, you'll get an almost real cartoon character right there on your paper.

Summing up

How to draw Toothless can be seen from the description, and it is not at all difficult. It is enough to show desire and follow the sequence. Even a small child who already knows the basic lines in drawing can draw it.

Drawing a dragon is quite an interesting activity even for experienced artists. After all, everyone has their own disposition, character and charisma inherent only to them. Our character today - Toothless - is also no exception.

He embodies fear and beauty, kindness and mistrust, humor and loneliness in one whole. This inner nature must be conveyed with the help of a pencil in order for the dragon to look the way it should.

Such a cute and funny dragon like Toothless will be able to decorate any album for children's creativity and become an excellent “model” for drawing lessons in the future.

I dedicate this lesson to everyone who dreams of having a cute dragon as a pet! I tried to make the simplest instructions on how to draw Toothless with a pencil step by step.

Toothless is a strange name for a strange dragon, or rather a night fury. This is a smart and funny animal that was tamed by a guy named Hiccup. He is smart and kind, and can also swim and breathe fire. Very similar to my cat, he also curls up when he sleeps. But the most amazing thing is that Toothless can also draw! You can do it too, right? If not, then it doesn’t matter, I can teach you! Repeat according to my instructions:

How to draw Toothless with a pencil step by step

Step one. I draw round shapes for Toothless's head, torso, tail and wings.

Step two. I draw the main elements of the body in each part.

Step three. I start with the head. I depict eyes and an open mouth. Then paws with claws and a tail. The wings can be left at the very end; they are not difficult to draw.

Step four. I’ll add some shading for beauty:

I suggest you, friends, try to portray a few more of our favorite heroes.
