A few days ago, I started to draw a dragon series. I have named this – The Primordial Newts, inspired by the newt (salamander), these dragons are my imagination of ancient super-dragons.
It took me some time to finish this series. The thinking process was difficult. Eventually, I came up with a design that then made its way from paper to computer.
After several scribbles of the base drawing on paper, I moved on to draw digitally using Procreate on my iPad. I created a reference so I can figure how big each part of the body should be compared with the rest. Then I sketched out the design and finally colored it.
I present to you, the first Primordial Newt in the series: Fervent Flames, aligned to Fire one of the basic elements of nature.

Here is a time-lapse video showcasing the creation process.
There are more coming up in the series but right now this dragon’s got to fly!
