The last one got me dead

[@bonnyd.5334]

Took me 4 attempts. The first time I tried to fold this model, this project was beyond me. The second time, I screwed up the head. This dragon is OK, but not what I wanted. The third time, I got excited and screwed up the wings. The fourth time, I discovered the limits of the paper. The paper had a plastic feel to it and the creases broke through the color :(. I'm ready to fold it using good paper, so time to follow the link Jo gives and get some of the really nice paper he uses. My teacher says that I am a high intermediate folder. He's convinced me that, to up my game, it's time for me to use better quality paper.

[@hi-ho5qu]

I am ok at origami so i managed it first time :^( ignoring the fact that the tail looks like an armadillo)

[@Mr.Star_]

It's so hard, but i did this. And now i have my little dragon :3 Thanks

[@isaacthegreat1912]

I did it. Then did it again and I now have 5.

[@yuvrajsonawane3554]

Hi jo. You an your tutorials are really great. The image showing instructions is very help full and clear. It took about 1hr 45 min to prepare the dragon. Besides this I was able to make squirrel, unicorn (my favourite), reindeer and dolphin. Owl was quite difficult for me :). I am just a beginner. Thanks for all your vedios

[@whinuk8337]

Its just amazing how you think of this design of a complex dragon from a piece of flat paper

Quizás no les cambie la vida lo que voy a decir, pero no gasten dinero en el papel para origami. Viene muy grueso. Compren papel de seda y cortenlo ustedes mismos. Es el mejor y permite hacer detalles.

[@julianvillarraga4984]

[@SoyaBeans]

Wow! I loved how it came out after three days! I put in a lot of effort to this dragon. Thank you so much!

[@Eefit]

I memorized the other dragon instructions so I make them at school, but its kinda boring now bc I've made it so much and a lot of people there have them, so I'm planning on memorizing this one too. Since its similar to the other one it should only take 2 or so times watching through, as the other one took about 4. These designs are so cool and my peers love them!

[@Eefit]

ah I was wrong it only took 1 time of watching the video to get it down, once winter break is over my friends are gonna be happy i have another design!

[@pushpalathabk3275]

Awesome tutorial and model, Jo. I'm a 9 year old origamist and I can make this model without seeing in five minutes. I thought this was way too complex but when I saw the video, It was so easy. I saw the video 2 times and I understood the steps and I can do it easily. But I added a bit details on the tail and wings. Thanks a lot Jo.

Everyone: jo nakashima pls help me make the head plzzz. Me: what, THAT IS LIKE THE EASIEST PART OF THE ORIGAMI

[@srinivasareddy5273]

This looks difficult but we need patience to make this. I have made one and it has come out good. I thought it was not possible by me to make but I finally made it today. Jo nakashima thank you for these tutorials you have helped me so much with origami. Plz be making more like these

I started with origami just a couple of weeks ago and I love it so much, it totally soothes me! :) This model is my absolute favourite so far, its way easier than I thought! Now I'm doing it over and over again to be able to memorize and do it when I'm on long train rides or something like that. ;) Thank you so much!

[@sanjaymondal8655]

The difficulty to make this dragon version is slightly above intermediate level.... It took a whole day to make it perfectly....Thanks jo👍👍👍

This was much easier than I expected. Thank you, Joe, for teaching how to fold this, and for showing every step! Cheers!

[@grahamcracker2]

Did we watch the same video?

[@sourceawry4035]

@@grahamcracker2 , lol. I have literal heaps of doh!rigami and NOrigami from years of failed attempts with many models. I thought I would never get any better. It seems so simple, but requires a certain precision and discipline gained through practice. There is also a satisfaction that comes with finally being able to fold one of Jo's models on the first try, bc it usually takes me 3 or 4. Don't give up.

[@buttfart7123]

Amazing! I din’t finish making it, this is the most complex origami i have ever done. The other most complex is the slave one from Star Wars origami by Chris Alexander. You and him should make an origami Star Wars creature (rancor, dewback, etc) together.

YES!! My origami training the last 2 weeks has really paid off! This is the first complex origami I completed and I feel awesome. Was pretty hard with printer paper tho

[@user-ys1mt5kq7f]

It took me about an hour, but it was worth it :D For people who are struggling at a certain part, skip a few seconds forward from where you are at and look at what that fold becomes and why it is important. If you don’t know what you are doing and it seems like the step is not that important, you can skip it (as long as it is towards the end).

[@jasperfeldschuh3644]

it took my 3 tries and the purchase of some 24 centimeter by 24 centimeter origami paper to finally complete. I love it so much and he looks so cute! to anyone thinking of attempting this, I recommend getting some nice origami paper that is larger than 20 centimeters. 24 centimeter paper worked out really well for me and the size is perfect. the larger paper made it easier for me to fold

[@CanalSatoficial]

Excelente tutorial e modelo, Jo! Adoro o modo como seus tutoriais são minimalistas, mas diretos, claros. Eu particularmente tenho muita dificuldade em fazer dragões, mas sua criação está bem simples e o resultado é incrível, faz tudo girar em torno mais da modelagem do papel do que na complexidade de passos das dobras em si. Parabéns pelo trabalho impecável!

I made this twice now, it takes me within 1 hour to make but I really hate when you fold it so much that the very middle rips due to how many times you fold it. Atleast for me. I was using a small 16 cm piece of Paper so it was a bit tough I sadly do have a rip in the center but it’s on the crease line so unless you look straight down at the dragon it’s alright
