Finally! I am so sick of 'this is how you draw dragons' tutorials, where they make it all around a stereotypical Western dragon and tell you this is how you draw them, no other way is permitted. I do love how here you encourage people to play with anatomy and make unique dragons. It's what I do and have always done. Fantasy has no boundaries.

alecan In reply to Dragoness17 [2013-02-24 14:04:45 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I don't like those kinds of tutorials either, I mean, dragons are in fact not a real animal (no matter what some might think of that) and thus there's no "real" way of drawing them either

Melancholy-Minds [2012-05-08 15:51:58 +0000 UTC]

Brilliant tutorial-- I especially like how you showed diagrams comparing the anatomy of a dragon to a horse and then human... It's interesting to see how our skeletal structures all share these fundamental parts but can be rearranged to create an animal of a completely different build. (I also enjoyed looking at the musculature drawings as well as the walk cycle.)

Im working on one right now [link] but I'm having a really hard time with the hind right foot. ((I'm quite comfortable with head, wings, tail, body, it's the feet/hands that end me))

Yes, the feet can be tricky, I'm working on a tutorial for them and it should be up on dragontutorial.com in about a week or two
