    How can I draw Toothless flying with Hiccup?
    Community Answer
    Try printing a picture of that and place a (not cardboard or anything thick) piece of paper over it. Start by tracing it and then gradually you should get the shape of the picture. Once this is in place, draw around it and color it. Then, practice drawing the designs freehand in the desired positions, now that you have the "feel" for their shapes.
