When the world needed 3/4 dragon views the most Bio came to save the day

[@Biohazardia]

Haha aww thank you!

[@Boopable_Noodle]

Yep!

[@kcdragon2222]

Finally its here YESSSSSSSSSSSSssS Best tutorials for half realistic and half cartoony

[@arandomicewinghybrid9032]

The 3/4 view is tricky, because of the angle and lack of irl reference for drawing dragons (hahaha). Recently, though, I’ve taken to studying the Joy Ang covers to see how she draws her heads, and using simple shapes and lines (sphere for head/curves for center of snout/lines or curves for horns) to map out where different parts of the head should go. Perspective guides are also useful! A well-established artist on Flight Rising has told me to minimize drawing of profile view dragon faces as soon as possible, because I could slip into a “bad habit” of only drawing profile faces. Can’t wait to see how this video might help! Edit: Personally I find the horns to be hardest to draw; it’s tricky to line them up in a proper/realistic way, especially if they’re straight and long like IceWing horns. I like to use a perspective guide for straight horns. This video was great, thank you!

[@Biohazardia]

Referencing Ang is a good idea! Yeah perspective guides are good but not everyone has access to it and they’re super confusing to new artists, so I’d probably only suggest that in a “more advanced” tutorial

[@UltimatePerfection]

I really wish we had some IRL differences for drawing a dragon. Heh, perhaps one day.

[@taylaa8305]

Uh oh. Tomorrow during class my notes are going to be nothing but boxes. Edit : Not gonna lie there’s A LOT of stuff I was missing when drawing a dragon. I, as a beginner artist, thought drawing a lazy circle and making a couple lines for the jaw was it. Now I realize there’s all this complicated anatomy stuff. It doesn’t make me any less motivated though - it just shows how much I have to learn and how much better it will look when I learn that. All thanks to you, Bio!

YESSSS, IT'S HERE I've been struggling with this since forever, thanks a lot for this tutorial!

[@alphas4life992]

Yesss thank you for this!

[@thxu4_the_venom657]

ooo i've already got my own way to draw dragons in 3/4 but i love seeing other peoples methods!!

[@olliebranch_]

YAY I was just talking to my sister about how hard 3/4 face angles are to draw 😭😂

[@owibyx]

oooohhh, yaass!!! Edit: Tbh, what I struggle the most is to keep the perspective of the snout the same as the main side of the face and the other side of the face. I always dont know how to do the cheek on the other side, like should it appear or not, etc.

[@sophieswimswithsharks]

Hi, Owibyx! I'm a huge fan!!

[@AlolanTreecko]

Ello Owi 👀

[@Biohazardia]

Yeah I think the perspective of the snout is really difficult, I do agree the cheek on the other side is hard to tell haha, I probably should have addressed that more. It all depends on how much the face is turned and tbh I still eyeball it sometimes without really knowing XD Maybe look at Wolves for reference? or dinosaurs? I feel they have face shapes closely resembling (Wings of fire) dragons anyway.

[@olliebranch_]

Ello 👀

I NEEDED THIS TUTORIAL THANK YOUUUU

[@Tobiathan355]

How can I tell you in words how grateful I am for one: a good tutorial and two: 3/4 dragon faces! I can't tell you how much I needed this!! ❤️

[@hollowboio3571]

I NEEDED THIS SO BAD, I’ve been trying to do it myself but I couldn’t find how to do it

[@wendyfisher9828]

This is gonna help me and my friend *so much* Thanks Bio :D

[@wawashake2763]

I cannot thank you enough for this tutorial, I have NEVER been able to draw front view dragon views (my 3/4 ones weren't good either) but now with the box snout method i just drew my first good looking front view (and 3/4!) so thank you so much! :)

[@aquaxvampz]

This is so helpful, tysm for the tutorial!

[@Biohazardia]

glad that it's helpful :3

[@aquaxvampz]

Yes!

[@venicecoburn5614]

Lately, I’ve been looking for tutorials for more simplistic dragon faces. This helps so much! I love your art style, artists like you are what I aspire to draw like.

[@ardent_ascent]

Oh. My. GOSH. When I was a young artist, this vid was my lifeline!!!

[@aceofcrows7570]

*Happy crow noises* I needed this so much I can't even explain- Thank you!

[@moistpubes56]

Girl thank you so much 😭🥺🥺 there aren’t many useful tutorials out there and I’ve been struggling with 3/4 for years now 10/10 would recommend this tutorial

[@yolkivesratu4327]

You seriously couldn’t have done this at a better time! I have been trying to do the 3/4 angle for so long because I’ve only really done the side view. Seriously, thank you for this! It’s a very great video and really helps!!

[@sleepingmongoose7030]

This was so helpful! I have been drawing dragons for a long time, but I am self-taught. One day I just wanted to draw my WoF ocs and never stopped. I have been trying to make my style more interesting/more realistic, and with this video alone I am having a field day experimenting! Much appreciated and I can't wait for more!

[@reckytherainwing9411]

I love your art style and how to draws! All of your how to draw videos have made me 10 times a better artist than i could been!! Im crying wholesomly because you have made me so much better at drawing!!!

[@salemstudios3105]

Wow, this helps so much! While I wasn’t requesting this video, I needed it!! Cant wait to try this!

[@brikkets]

thank you so much! i've been struggling with stuff like this, so it's nice to have a good tutorial. all of the other ones i looked up were pretty confusing and didn't really tell me what i was supposed to be drawing

[@aeroneurobrain]

What a good video, Biohazardia! All your guides just made my drawings instant better! I also visited your Deviant. Nice artworks!

[@Ddrm111]

Ahh yes! Thank you so much for this :D I’ve been struggling to make 3/4 dragon faces for a while now and this is definitely gonna help

[@idiotswithshortsaccess]

Thank you so much for the tutorial! This actually helped me with all sides, side, front, 3/4, etc. I love your videos!

[@dayzed_with_a_y]

Omg. This is exactly what I need! I’m only used to drawing dragons in 2D, and I wanted to learn how to draw at a different angle! Also, its from the pro so I know it’ll have to work. You should make more of these!

I wish i knew this existed sooner, this is godsend.

[@candlelamp8729]

Oh wow I had no idea people struggled with 3/4 angle. But this was so interesting and helpful, nonetheless. Thanks for your great videos Bio!

[@turtleyamazing6091]

Oooo, helpful! I’m already pretty good at drawing the 3/4 angle, but I still struggle with how to align the eyes so I appreciated the more concrete tips on that. It’s especially confusing because the eye ridge can actually hide the second eye from the viewer depending on the angle... Anyways I’m really looking forward to the front facing tutorial because I DEFINITELY struggle with that! ^^;

[@Akorune]

Right, time to send this to my friend who is starting to draw dragons a lot more.

[@x.rainpuddle.x5036]

I have gained new knowledge!!! Now to apply it. Update: After much suffering my perspective skills aren't non existent anymore.

Oh my gosh this helped me so much! Thank you!!!

[@laundrymat2963]

I still think the front view of the dragon head is kinda hard, like how you need to line up the jaw line and the eyes and how to get the ridge line correct. Also those WOF description drawings in the books are some really good references lol
