The Best Origami Dragons of 2018

This has always been one of my favourite models and this is easily one of the most
impressive renditions I’ve seen.

This model blows my mind every time I see it. It’s folded from a single
156cm x 156cm square of paper.

Here we have another amazing dragon design that’s folded incredibly well.
The details and shapes on the head are fantastic and I love.

This is an absolutely fantastic new design from Hiroaki Kobayashi.

Another somewhat simpler design but nonetheless fantastic looking.
Expertly folded and I love how it kind of feels playful.
