An illustration I did in 2012 for GQ-Germany. It was for an articel about how wealthy Chinese customers influence the market for luxury watches.

For that illustration I learned some interesting facts about drawing proper Chinese dragons from my friend Baoying. So if you like to draw Chinese dragons that make even Chinese customers happy, keep in mind following important facts:

- mouth and eyes always open
- neck must not be thicker that the rest of the body
- very long body (the longer the better)
- head always directed upwards or at least horizontal (not sure about that because i’ve seen others)
- tag upwards
- claws spread
- 4 to 5 fingers
- body entangeled in clouds
- traditional dragons like this, this, this or that one are way more awesome that those fancy glossy dragons you see nowadays

Here is something from a four-page story I did last summer for Karagöz, a zine edited by my buddies Thomas Wellmann and Nadine Redlich. Get your copy of Karagöz here: www.karagoez.bigcartel.com
