Neopets - How to draw a Gallion

How to draw a Gallion : Printable Version

Start by drawing a circle for your Gallion's head. Then, on the lower lefthand side of the circle, make a small oval that overlaps the circle's edge. This will be the Gallion's snout. Finally, draw a large rounded shape under the Gallion's head for its body.

Connect the Gallion's head to its body with a pair of curved lines. Then, make another set of curved lines (these should meet in a point) coming from the back of the Gallion's head to form one of its horns. The other horn will mostly be hidden because the Gallion's head is turned, so just make a small triangular shape on top of the head circle for the tip of that horn. Lastly, draw the shapes for the Gallion's eyes. Its left eye (which is on your right) will be a large, lemon shape, while its right eye (on your left) will be a much smaller, narrower leaf shape, because the Gallion's head is turned to one side.

It's now time to draw your Gallion's legs. At the bottom of the body shape, make two large shapes for the Gallion's front legs. Its back legs will be partly hidden by the front ones, so draw a hint of the Gallion's right back leg (on your left) that peeks out from behind its front leg. Note that the Gallion's left back leg (which is on your right) will be larger. Then, add a wing to your Gallion's shoulder and draw its long tail behind the body shape.

Next, give a more distinctive shape to your Gallion's face. Finish its snout, and add spikes to its cheek and a brow ridge above its left eye (the one on your right). Then, start to work on the Gallion's face by drawing its mouth and nostrils. Also, don't forget to put some slit-like pupils in its eyes, along with a curved line for its iris (the coloured part of the eye).

Now that you've finished creating your Gallion's face, it's time to erase any extra lines that might be left on its head. Next, add some furry texture to your Gallion's head and chest. Finally, make some lines on its horns for a little extra detail.

Erase your extra lines, and then start working on the Gallion's feet. Segment each of its visible feet into three toes. When doing so, make sure to include the Gallion's large claws!

Give your Gallion's wings some more shape and detail. Then, erase any extra lines that are left over.

Refine the shape of the Gallion's tail, and add a small tuft of fur at the end of it.

Your drawing is almost finished! Erase any remaining extra lines, and get ready to colour!

Give your drawing some colour. Feel free to use anything you like, from markers to a computer program.

Include lots of shading and texture to give your drawing plenty of depth and realism. There you have it... your very own drawing of a Gallion!
