General advice: try talking to the more reasonable-seeming heads. They might be able to work out a coalition deal with the rest.
You know what I'm finding my favorite part of _The Art Of Drawing Dragons_ so far? It's discovering how much fun drawing multi-headed creatures are. It's not easy, because bodies are really hard to make look natural with multiple heads. But the many heads are fun, especially the way Michael Dobrzycki's outlines set me up for them. They're pleasant shapes and lend themselves to a lot of different expressions. At least I find them excuses to draw all kinds of different expressions. I'm aware that I've got very little repeatability in drawing: it's difficult to draw the same character twice so it looks recognizably like the same character. But I didn't take the time to try giving all the necks the same, or even nearly the same, head. The eyes and nostrils are the obvious big differences, but there's also a bunch of different kinds of teeth here and I like all of them, I think.
Also something I'm discovering? Green is a fun color to paint characters. I'm surprised how easy it is to make look right.
Fun activity bonus: which of these hydra heads has obviously got to be some other dragon photobombing this because there's just no logical way its neck connects to the main body?
