An Extremely Unqualified Dragon
Invent a dragon with an everyday job and a wonderfully inconvenient talent.
Time: 5–15 minutes
A bean-shaped body is all the drawing skill this dragon needs. Use materials you already own.
What you need
- paper
- pen
Optional supplies
- colored pencils
Try this idea
- Draw a bean for a body and add eyes, a tail, and any number of legs.
- Give the dragon a job it is hilariously bad at, such as ironing shirts with fiery sneezes.
- Draw one accessory that helps it try: enormous mittens, a tiny watering can, or a clipboard.
- Add a reassuring motto, such as Still Learning, Still a Dragon.
A smaller version
Draw a bean with eyes and name its job.
A good place to stop
Your dragon has a job and one helpful accessory.
Make it work for you
Draw large and skip small details. Dictate the character description if drawing is tiring.
Another way in
Give your dragon a job it unexpectedly does very well.
