Ok, so, I want to learn how to draw animals from dragons to cute little bunnies. What is the best tutorial you can think of for beginners?
I've tried to learn on my own, but the problem is I tends to be inconsistent whenever I have to do new angles of a creature.
Also, any tips or tricks is appreciated.Aug 6, 2022

Pokemon how to draw books...why,? Because theyre good at showing you how to break down a creature into shapes.
•
•just learn the skeleton of like.... a horse or smth. all animals are largely the same, so just change bone lengths n stuff from there. add fluff or not.
•
•for real, extant animals: lots of photo references and studies, look at anatomical diagrams- both skeletal and muscular. do whole study pages of one species of animal from different angles, pay attention the differences that can occur between individuals of a species.
most one-and-done tutorials aren't really gonna give you a whole of of good info that isn't just that.
for drawing made up creatures, it depends on your goal. want something believable? learn about why certain animals have certain traits, learn about the functions behind said traits, think about what role your creature plays in its respective ecosystem and what features it needs to survive and thrive

•Well, the best thing here is to learn to paint simple shapes (cylinders, spheres, cubes...), and then "build" your creature with them. And look at different references!
