Drawing Step 4

4. Continue to draw the leading edges of the wings using long curved lines. Draw another claw at the tip of each. Again, use curved lines to enclose a narrow, hooked triangular shape.

Drawing Step 5

5. Outline the metacarpals, or finger-like bones that support the wing sail.

Draw a long curved line parallel to the wing's leading edge, allowing it to connect to the claw at the end. Extend another curved line from its base to form a "V" shape.

6. Draw a claw at the tip of the second metacarpal. Again, use curved lines to enclose a narrow, hooked triangle shape.

Then, draw a second curved line parallel to the previous to complete the second metacarpal. From its base, extend another curved line to make a "V" shape. This outlines one side of the third metacarpal.

Drawing Step 7

7. Draw a hooked claw at the tip of the third metacarpal. Then, complete this digit by drawing a long curved line from the claw to the thumb.

Color Your Dragon Wings Drawing

Color your cartoon dragon wings. We've shaded ours green, a common color for these reptilian creatures. In the fictional world of Pern, a green coloration indicated a small female dragon.

Did you know? Not all dragons have wings. The serpent-like dragons traditional to Japan and China are wingless.

But you can customize your own mythical creature by adding these cartoon dragon wings to any of our fun drawing guides!

Would you like to learn how to draw dragon wings? Perhaps you dream of taking flight astride a trusty beast that you have trained. Or, maybe you'd like to sprout some wings of your own!
