No one in the world forgot these dragons after watching it. I was a small kid watching every video of yours, impressed and even tried to make one your way (failed dramatically). Thank you for all of your work, it’s still amazing to watch. Stay healthy.
Thank you for this very nice comment Kim! I am really flattered that you would take the time to write such a sweet message. I was in a slump for a while during the pandemic. But a comment like this is just what I needed to start a new project. I hope you stay well too. Take care. Dan
Hey Mr. Dan! This is an AWESOME piece as well as you creating it for an AWESOME cause! I had an aunt to battle and fight with cancer but overcame it's ugliness and she is going strong in her life walk! Bless you Mr. Dan the Man:)) Hope all is well with you!
The Madison Crew Hey Madisons! Hope all is well with you all too! Everyone I know has been touched by this terrible disease. Hopefully we are on the edge of winning. Nice to hear from you! Dan
Thanks, yes sir we're good. Ain't it the truth, I pray we will be there and soon! When I can I definitely will be helping in this cause. And as always it's good hearing from you. Take care!
I'm a pancreatic cancer survivor (3 yrs now!) and hope you do really well! I'm now living in Costa Rica (better for my recovery and more affordable on my social security) so have chosen not to enter so others have a better chance to win!
Saw this in my recommendations and thought "Hey I could win a dragon from Dan!" then looked at the date and went "Well poo." Oh well....still love your work.
Amazing yet again. I think it is wonderful the give away. I don't have the cancer that you are raising for, but being a cancer patient who is inoperable I find it so amazing when people like yourself do what you do to help those who are ill. You are an amazing artist and yes, an amazing soul as well. God bless. There is a special place in heaven for people like you!!
I have loved dragons since i was a very young child and saw the painting Saint George fighting the Dragon. Of course i wanted the dragon to win! I have been collecting dragons for about 50 years. But never have i seen anything to compare to yours. Your talent and imagination is incredible. These videos made me and my grandson very happy today! Thank you so much.
I’m 7 years old and I’m your fan. One day I’ll learn how to make an awesome dragon like you. I got my aunt to write this message because I’ve yet to learn how to write long sentences
Hello Syed (and aunt). I am very happy you like my dragons! Thank you for the nice comment! When you start making dragons just let me know if you have questions. I'll be happy to help! Dan
Good evening! I really like your works. Can I ask You a few details? Tell me please what you are gluing pieces of papier mache? Masking tape? And how are you at cutting papier mache (for example in the dragon's eggs) inside paper remains? You make an egg without form? Without clay or layout? Initially only glued the paper? I am waiting for your reply.
+Наташа Котова Somehow I missed this comment. Sorry. I put the pieces together with masking tape. When the mache dries on the eggs I cut them open and pull out the wads of paper leaving only the shell. I use a serrated knife to cut. Dan
That is a very nice thing for you to say! Of course I'm most proud of getting the dragon's profile to match the shape of the logo. That was a challenge. Thank you very much for the nice remarks! Dan
Hello, your work is amazing. Are you planning some kind of tutorial for begginers - how to make dragon like this one? Thanks for your time and amazing work.
WOW, I want one....no I NEED one!!! I also support all Cancer research and treatment, as I've lost 2 wives, 4 grandparents, and countless friends to various types of Cancer. I totally love the way you are spreading the word and I love your work! Keep on fighting the good fight. ~Reverend Craig Jones~

Your a big inspiration!! The other night I had bad anxiety and I came across one of your videos so I decided giving it a shot, Not only did trying to make a dragon help with it a lot but the dragon is actually half decent :)
+Chantelle Siequien Hi Chantelle. I'm just seeing this for the first time. That's great! Congratulations! I'm happy that you made something you like. If you are ever interested I would post a photo on my website. Just send to dan@gourmetpapermache.com . Thanks for sharing! Dan
I remember watching this as a kid and being amazed, and I still am. Just incredible what you're able to do with glue and paper. (That's over-simplified but still-) Love your work!
I think as a tip, the colors were great, but the black washing wasn't really necessary and it kinda turned the project to a more dark-toned color. But else than that it was great! Hope to see your next one soon!
It's really much more about practice than talent. If you look at my website I have many many pages with photos of projects they made using my books and videos and instructions in my blog. They made great dragons, many on their first attempt. Just give it a try. I think you would love it. Thank you for watching and taking the time to write.
Hi there All I can say is wow ! Absolutely beautiful work ! My biggest paper mache price is a Giraffe, and now I’m attempting to make a dragon . Won’t be anywhere near like yours ! I know I’m 8 years late but better late than never ! 😊
Hello Helen. You are very kind. Thank you for your nice comments! Good luck with your dragon! I'm sure it will be great. You are already versed in the medium. I'm happy to answer questions if you ever have any. dan@gourmetpapermache.com. Take care Dan
@@Gourmetpapermache hi Dan . The cloth you use , is it like a plaster bandage? What is it called ? I use shop towels which give pieces a skin look , wondering if it’s the same . ? 😊
@@helenvandenadort5871 Hey again Helen. I use old bed sheets dipped in white glue (I prefer Elmer's Glue All). I get the sheets at Goodwill, a local second-hand store. The older and more worn the better. This "skin" is light and adds a lot of strength. It also allows for great detail like eyelids and lips and scales. Good luck!

GourmetPaperMache I once did paper mache in art class. I made a.... fox.... It was just a box with ears, a tail and carved in eyes, nose and mouth XP. It was the third time for me that I did paper machete and it really wasn't that bad! Eh it was was a box that was SUPPOSED to be a fox but it looked like a cat.... WELL ANYWAYS you are a really talented person! I wish I had your talent! I know I will get to were you are if I keep me passion for art. YOU ARE AWESOME and keep up the great work ;) I luv all your art!
Thank you Dan, I have trawled through you site and tutorials. I have learn a huge amount. Will invest in your books though. I keep wanting to ask questions so can I have links to your blogs. I am more of a hands on learner so classes are always easier for me.
Su Eld-Weaver Yes, I agree. Classes are always more motivating. But I don't offer them any more because the people that want them are all over the planet. There is never a critical mass in one place. Still, give it try. You'll be surprised how easy it is. Good luck! Dan
+Cpt.AirWolf Thanks Cpt Air Wolf. I have investigated casting methods for years. There just isn't a technique that would capture these sculptures. Between the size and the detail, it would be almost impossible. But thanks for taking the time to write. Dan
you're welcome man. It's so rare to find real artisans in our busy society that tends to want to create everything virtually instead. I always like to take the time to thank you guys for keeping real art alive!
Spectacular work, congratulations! Please, I have some questions about your project, if you could help me I would be immensely grateful. 1. What are eyes made? 2. What paper or fabric covers the wings?
Hello Adriel. I buy these online from taxidermy companies. You can find all these companies by googling "glass eyes taxidermy." The best site for eyes is from the UK however, www.glasseyes.com. They also sell glass "blanks" so you can paint the back with whatever colors you choose. After sculpting with paper mache pieces I add a "skin" of cloth (old bed sheets...I prefer white for filming, but it doesn't matter if there is a color or pattern since it gets painted anyway) dipped in white glue (I prefer Elmer's Glue All). This is light, adds a lot of strength and allows for detail that is hard to achieve with just paper. If you are interested in my techniques go to my blog, www.PaperMacheBlog.com, where you can see many projects made step-by-step with commentary. And I will always answer questions should you need more help. Good luck!
You are so Awesome -- Sauce !! Smooches. I normally do not like dragons, but I am drawn to your work and it's carefulness and detailed accuracy, color blending. We need vid from you on just blending and creating colors. And of course who could not luv luv your dad's fav breakfast. I'm sure he was a hoot. You have so much talent and artisticness. Would it be rude to ask if you could consider producing a how to on a fearsome but friendly looking swan in Paper mache ? i'd luv to c what your rendition would be..You know huge wings and claws but soft beautiful face ??? Thanks for just being you !!!!
+Mercedes Freeman You are very sweet Mercedes. Thank you for this very nice note! I just do art because it feeds me the right way (if you know what I mean). I do love pulling things out of thin air. I'm sure that's true of every artist on the planet. That's an interesting idea about the swan. Who knows. Maybe. Thanks again. Take care Dan
Amir Syariff Glad you like this Amir. If you are interested in my techniques you can see more on my blog (www.papermacheblog.com). And I have how-to books on my website. gourmetpapermache.com/about-my-books/
You know what would be cool? If you make King Ghidorah from Godzilla! If you would i would be exited to watch it. Love your work! Alot of details putted in
Congratulations on your very good work to his art ... looking at his work managed to learn a few more things does not compare with what you do ... Congratulations again to stay that way .. If you can tell me the materials you use would be grateful
Jhonatan Nascimento Thanks Jhonatan. This is paper mache, flour and water paste and newspaper. After I sculpt with that I add a skin of cloth dipped in white glue. Dan
Oh wow..You just get better and better at it I am blown away by the details and energy you put into your art. Wonderful cause as well and every childrens hospital should have one of your creatures :) xxx
Grandioso trabajo!!! Me encantaría saber que materiales utilizas, si usas vendas de yeso o que tipo de tela es esa que moldeas tan fácilmente. Muchas gracias
+Rosalee Glenn I just don't think of dragons as friendly. I think to be "realistic" it wouldn't be friendly looking. I did make a cute little dragon for my children's book however. I just don't have a video of that one. Thanks for the note. Dan
You are too funny Jay. But I should tell your heart and your head that you can indeed do this. If you look at the photos on my site that have been sent to me by people who thought like you did. And look at what they made! So could you, Trust me.
pretty talented actual! Can you do some more thing like things because this is a good Paper Mache Dragon!! I liked how you done a coat of paper each time! I hope you do best on your other videos you've done CX Also just saying but im not trying to be rude but tbh i rather more shading on the horns?Im not sure if people agree with me but i like shade to make more affect and realistic look on the dragon for a cool type please?
Glad you like the dragon. I do various shadings on horns. But I wanted these to be a bit cleaner. It's all artistic preference. Thanks for the comment.
Dan thank you so much. I started last night a new mold on a car roof. I layered 5 layers of paper with Mod Podge. But it is still not stiff. Is there a way to make Paper Mache stiff, like hard surface? I know it will never be like fiberglass. But I'd like it to be hard and stiff. Is there any way? thanks!
+Gorilla Jones If you use white glue instead of flour and water paste it will very stiff when it is dry. It will wrinkle up a bit however, but you can smooth that out later. Good luck!
+GourmetPaperMache Great, guess 5 layer is not enough then as it is still quite flexible using Mod Podge which is basically Elmers white glue like substance. I will try using 10 layer instead. Maybe I will lay one layer of fiberglass in the middle for stiffness. Thank you again for your quick responses, it is much appreciated. Keep up the great art!
Hi Friend, thanks for sharing your technique, type of fabric apology is with which you cover, and what material do teeth, thanks for the reply and congratulations for your work, and regards the cat

Hello Dan. Would you ever do a video on basic tips on how to paper mache like you? Because I love doing it but it just turns out wrong. I've had so much practice by other people on UA-cam, but yours seems to be there best out of everyone else's. There is so much I would love to ask about how you do this kind of stuff but I wouldn't want to steal your ideas.
MrsTezOG Hello MrsTezOg. I try to make my techniques available. Between my blog, where I show many projects being made, step-by-step, and my videos and my how-to books (and my mask tutorials on UA-cam) I think I've put it all out there. But I think mostly it's just practice. I'm just very practiced. Thanks for the note. Dan

And I will always answer questions should you need more help. Good luck!
You are so Awesome -- Sauce !! Smooches. I normally do not like dragons, but I am drawn to your work and it's carefulness and detailed accuracy, color blending. We need vid from you on just blending and creating colors. And of course who could not luv luv your dad's fav breakfast. I'm sure he was a hoot. You have so much talent and artisticness. Would it be rude to ask if you could consider producing a how to on a fearsome but friendly looking swan in Paper mache ? i'd luv to c what your rendition would be..You know huge wings and claws but soft beautiful face ??? Thanks for just being you !!!!
+Mercedes Freeman
You are very sweet Mercedes. Thank you for this very nice note! I just do art because it feeds me the right way (if you know what I mean). I do love pulling things out of thin air. I'm sure that's true of every artist on the planet. That's an interesting idea about the swan. Who knows. Maybe.
Thanks again. Take care
Dan
This is really out of this world.. I wish to learn from you sir. I really am.
Amir Syariff Glad you like this Amir. If you are interested in my techniques you can see more on my blog (www.papermacheblog.com). And I have how-to books on my website. gourmetpapermache.com/about-my-books/

Petr Stuchlý

Dan
Congratulations on your very good work to his art ... looking at his work managed to learn a few more things does not compare with what you do ... Congratulations again to stay that way .. If you can tell me the materials you use would be grateful
Jhonatan Nascimento
Thanks Jhonatan. This is paper mache, flour and water paste and newspaper. After I sculpt with that I add a skin of cloth dipped in white glue.
Dan
Oh wow..You just get better and better at it I am blown away by the details and energy you put into your art. Wonderful cause as well and every childrens hospital should have one of your creatures :) xxx

Welcome to my world! Thank you Big J!
Dan
Grandioso trabajo!!! Me encantaría saber que materiales utilizas, si usas vendas de yeso o que tipo de tela es esa que moldeas tan fácilmente. Muchas gracias
Muchas gracias! Agrego una "piel" de tela (sábanas viejas) sumergida en pegamento blanco.
The moment u realise stick figures just don't cut it anymore
Funny! Thanks for watching!
Love your dragons, love your beautiful Abby or Bengal helper, proud of your foundation.
Thank you very much on all counts! You are very kind.
I enjoy you paper mache. I just wish they didn't have to look so scaring. I would love to see you do a friendly but realistic looking dragons.
+Rosalee Glenn
I just don't think of dragons as friendly. I think to be "realistic" it wouldn't be friendly looking. I did make a cute little dragon for my children's book however. I just don't have a video of that one. Thanks for the note.
Dan
Beautiful. What I find frustrating thought, is. My heart tells me I could make that. But my head tells me I couldn't. Or is it the other way round 🙁
You are too funny Jay. But I should tell your heart and your head that you can indeed do this. If you look at the photos on my site that have been sent to me by people who thought like you did. And look at what they made! So could you, Trust me.
pretty talented actual! Can you do some more thing like things because this is a good Paper Mache Dragon!! I liked how you done a coat of paper each time! I hope you do best on your other videos you've done CX Also just saying but im not trying to be rude but tbh i rather more shading on the horns?Im not sure if people agree with me but i like shade to make more affect and realistic look on the dragon for a cool type please?
Glad you like the dragon. I do various shadings on horns. But I wanted these to be a bit cleaner. It's all artistic preference. Thanks for the comment.
wow that is amazing! i guess if your an artist any material will do.
You are very kind. Thank you!
Perfect job!! Congratulations!! What do you use to do the eyes?? They are really great!
F-J Entretenimento
Thank you. I use taxidermy eyes. In this case I bought "blanks" and painted them myself.
Dan
Lol this is my family right here. We have at least once have been obsessed with dragons.
Welcome to my world! Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video!

I want a dragon so bad and to know it's for a cause what u do it is very special.
I'm very flattered, Thank you for the nice comment Lyzzy!
Wonderful. Please let me know what the white "cloth" you are using? Is it cloth? Paper? Wonderful.
Dan thank you so much. I started last night a new mold on a car roof. I layered 5 layers of paper with Mod Podge. But it is still not stiff. Is there a way to make Paper Mache stiff, like hard surface? I know it will never be like fiberglass. But I'd like it to be hard and stiff. Is there any way?
thanks!
+Gorilla Jones
If you use white glue instead of flour and water paste it will very stiff when it is dry. It will wrinkle up a bit however, but you can smooth that out later. Good luck!
+GourmetPaperMache Great, guess 5 layer is not enough then as it is still quite flexible using Mod Podge which is basically Elmers white glue like substance. I will try using 10 layer instead. Maybe I will lay one layer of fiberglass in the middle for stiffness. Thank you again for your quick responses, it is much appreciated. Keep up the great art!
+Gorilla Jones
Sounds like a great project. Best of luck to you!
Dan
Hi Friend, thanks for sharing your technique, type of fabric apology is with which you cover, and what material do teeth, thanks for the reply and congratulations for your work, and regards the cat
netosotelo
Hello Netosotelo. I use old bed sheets for the "skin". And I use Fimo for the teeth.
Good luck
Dan
GourmetPaperMache gracias, puedo encontrar en mexico tu libro?
netosotelo
No sé si se puede encontrar el libro en las librerías. Usted tendría que pedir a la tienda. Usted los puede comprar en mi sitio web, gourmetpapermache.com/about-my-books/, a pesar de que están escritos en Inglés solamente.
wow that just took my breath away that is amazing!!!

Andres Gil
I used Fimo or Sculpy (polymer clay) for teeth and horns.
Beautiful work! where did you get the claws and teeth please thank you
Thank you Gina! I make the teeth and claws out of polymer clay like Fimo or Sculpey.
Very nice you sure do have talent!👍✏
Thank you Lorely! You are very kind.
awesome work, do you have a video that shows how to make this? I would really like to try it
+MrHernanHdz
Thank you. This is the only video I have related to this dragon. I do show how to make several dragons on my blog and other information on my website. You should look at them for a start. Good luck
Dan
I wonder what was on those newspapers...
Do you sell these works of art? They're incredible!!
Thank you for the nice comment! I sell a piece every so often. The ones I have for sale can be found on my website under "Art for sale".
Your works are absolutely stunning! Ever thought of making a kaiju from Pacific Rim?
Crafting This
Hello Crafting This. Those are fun monsters. Not sure if it's right for me. But thanks for the suggestion.
Dan
Muy Buena creación solo quisiera saber que es lo que utilizas para cubrir las alas y casi todo el cuerpo y como haces los colmillos del dragón?
Entre Chuchas
Hola. Añado una "piel" de tela (ropa de cama) sumergido en pegamento blanco. Hago los dientes fuera de la arcilla de polímero, como Fimo o Sculpy.
Dan
I want to make one but I don't know any of these product except for the paint
thats a wyvern easy mistake for a dragon but anyways this was amazing hope yo do more of these amazing crafts!
Thank you! However, not a mistake. It is a wyvern, which is a type of dragon, one without the fore legs. Take care
Wow, amazing how you did this for cancer. You are an great artist and I love ur dragons :)
Lauren Rae
Thank you Lauren! I appreciate your kind remarks.
Dan
Wow👏so beautiful😍great work👀
Thank you Stella!
Hi Dan , I am amazed by your work, can you tell me what is the material you use for the wings? Seems like fabric, don't know. And the teeth? biscuit?
+Bruna Gasparini Sorry its not Dan, but I heard that the teeth is made from fimo clay I think
yeah,what matirial did u use for the teeth,horns +claws
+Mavis beckitt
That is Fimo, a polymer clay.
Hello Dan. Would you ever do a video on basic tips on how to paper mache like you? Because I love doing it but it just turns out wrong. I've had so much practice by other people on UA-cam, but yours seems to be there best out of everyone else's.
There is so much I would love to ask about how you do this kind of stuff but I wouldn't want to steal your ideas.
MrsTezOG
Hello MrsTezOg. I try to make my techniques available. Between my blog, where I show many projects being made, step-by-step, and my videos and my how-to books (and my mask tutorials on UA-cam) I think I've put it all out there. But I think mostly it's just practice. I'm just very practiced. Thanks for the note.
Dan
