Any tips for steps @9:30? Tried slowing it down just can't wrap my brain around it

This is the third type of dragon I've been able to tame and summon, thanks to you. I can't express how satisfying your designs are; from the seemingly automatically-aligning sink folds to the sturdy, self-supporting construction of limbs, and the subtle details a simple curve in the paper can add that brings an extra element of *life* to the models. Your art and geometry are honed in so well, thank you for sharing it with us!

Jo Nakashima i am really happy you still uploading videos, i discovered your channel 13 years ago when i was a kid and used to have a lot of time to spend on your tutorials 😢
Top of the origami in Youtube for sure!

These videos are genuinely amazing. The diagrams in the corner AND overlaid on the paper? Also the clear lighting and camera angle, plus the ASMR sounds, and the fact that you go over every step ... thank you for sharing. I've not folded in a while but this inspired me to try again.

[ynaisntreal]

[vedantp.]

Beautiful, I will try it out soon!!!! Thank you so much for all the help over the past few years!

[DakyUwU]

looks wonderful! managed to follow along and fold one myself. I love how it turned out!

[Turtle_Bert]

Bro Jo you are the best origami designer. You are making them in the way that they are not to easy yet not to hard and detailed. Please continue making models like this!

[sriramjavvadi]

I would absolutely love to watch a brainstorming video about one of your origami designs. Please make one if you can 😄

[plainbread]

Very simple, yet beautiful design 😍
I love it!

[eddiebear]

Thats cool. Makes me wanna start origami again

[foldable.wonders]

Thanks to this artist I have started my own origami channel. Go strong bro. Keep going. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[franekdziadek]

pretty cool i like that you made it a long tail the other dragons have a pretty bad tail imo but their detailed but this one is just clean i like these type of origami i would like if you made more of these types of origamis

[jinus]

Great job! I hope to make such a good origami someday soon.

[FoldnCrease]

Genuinely amazing bro, Ive been keen on crafts for years and I've always tried to make boxes n saw multiple tutorials but that was acc such a great, easy and memorable way to make a box, loves it! And the whole theme itself was great

[jessicaweinberger]

Wonderful tutorial, thank you so much!

[EthanDang-cf]

The first few steps are just the same like your turkey and pigeon! I truly love your origami!

[greenlizard]

really cool! didn't hold together at first after making it, but pinned the sides together with a paperclip for a while and it stuck. really cool design, enjoyed making it.

[Dragon-onpf]

Really cool!
I'd love more models like this
