Charizard Head

Start by drawing a small circle in the middle of your page. This will form Charizard's head . 🐲

Next, draw two curved lines with rounded ends on the top of the head. These will form Charizard's horns.

Begin to detail Charizard's face by drawing a vertical curved line in the center of the circle, and two other curved lines to the right of the circle. ⭕

Form the snout by extending a curved line from the bottom of the circle, and connect it to the curved line you drew inside the right side of the circle. Draw another curved line at the tip of the snout. ✍

For the jaw, draw a wavy line from the base of the left horn to the tip of Charizard's snout. 🔥

Erase the guide lines. These include the original circle and the line that crosses the muzzle.

Charizard's Body

Draw Charizard's neck. Make two curved lines starting from the bottom of the head, then connect them at the bottom using a shorter, round line.

Draw a roughly circular shape under the neck. This will form Charizard's body.

Sketch Charizard's arms and legs. The left arm is made up of two curved lines extending from the body. The right arm is drawn using four curved lines that intersect the body and neck. For the lower legs, draw each one using two curved lines. 🐉

Draw a circle at the end of each arm. This will form Charizard's hands. For each foot, connect the two sides of the leg with a wavy, bulb-shaped line.

Draw three claws on each foot. To draw a claw, draw two curved lines from the foot. The lines will meet at the end. Connect the lines at the other end with a slightly curved line. Each claw will look like a curved triangle with a rounded base. ✍

Erase the guide lines that cross the claws, leg, and arm.

Draw three claws on each hand. Start each claw by drawing a curved line that begins outside the circle of the hand, curves outward, and ends inside. Then, draw a second, shorter line from the middle of the first, ending inside the circle. Finally, connect the two ends of the line with a short curved line. Also, draw a rounded line in the middle of the hand to add detail. 🤙

Erase the guide lines from Charizard's hands.

Charizard's Tail

Draw the tail by tracing a curved line from the leg and foot, meeting at the same point. Finish Charizard's tail by adding another line between the body and the foot.

Highlight Charizard's belly with a line starting from the left side of its body and extending to its right leg. Create a flame at the tip of its tail. Start on one side of the tail tip, drawing a wavy, jagged line. Finish the line on the other side of the tail tip. 🔥

Add relief and detail to the tail by drawing a curved line.

Charizard Wings

Draw Charizard's wings. For each wing, draw a wavy line from the shoulders, then curve it outward and downward. Draw another similar wavy line below the first. Repeat on the opposite side. Draw the eye using two curved lines. For the nose, draw two short curved lines at the tip of the snout, and draw a longer wavy line above the left nostril. Draw a triangular tooth at the edge of the mouth. 🦷

Draw a curved "M"-shaped line to connect each wingtip to the back. Add detail to the wings with two slightly curved vertical lines. Complete each eye with a rounded line, a small circle, and a dot. 🤓

Erase the reference line on Charizard's neck. You now have a nice black and white preview of the Fire Dragon . 🐲
