Mythology has many strange animals and creatures. The griffin is associated with the sun and was supposed to guard gold. Fascinating isn’t it!!! The griffin has the head, wings and talons like those of an eagle. It has ears like those of the horse while its body is that of a lion.
Armed with this knowledge, we will learn how to draw the griffin in this step by step tutorial.
Step 1
Using a grey pencil draw the outline of the head, body and the wings. They should match the description given for each part as stated earlier.
Step 2
Using a thick black pencil fill in the details for the griffin. I’ve done the finer details with a thin pencil line. Remove the guidelines with a white pencil.
Step 3
Using the airbrush tool, I have coloured in my griffin. I’ve layered transparent colours- grey, purple, blue, yellow and orange. This adds to the fantasy effects and is a technique you can try on other drawings.
There is your griffin, ready to guard your creative exercises and masterpieces. There is another simpler griffin that you may also like to try which is in another one of the tutorials that I have prepared for you.
