The dragon has many different interpretations. First, it was the western gods that had to conquer the dragon – then later it was the noblemen. Many times the dragon is something a hero has to defeat to save the princess or something like that.
In the eastern part of the world the dragon is a much more positive symbol. He is the main essence or a part of yang – as in yin and yang - that can give humans the potion of ever lasting life.
The dragon is used on buildings, clothing and vases as decorative symbols. In today’s world a lot of people use the dragon for tattoos. I have drawn a dragon standing on his front legs with a twirling bird’s tail. I have given the dragon bird- or lizard-like legs - an elegant creature, swift and smooth. This dragon has a bit more of a feminine touch compared to the one I posted some time ago.
