Description
Typical D&D dragon. I might put some colour on it at some point too...When i stop being bored all the time...----------
EDIT:
Since there's so many of you out there who liked it, I would like to thank everyone who has commented, faved and included my dragon to their groups. I am quite honored indeed and long overdue to appreciating all of your comments, so, really, thanx!
EDIT 19/12/2012:
I am writing this because it has come to my attention more than once that some people here on DA seem to think that this drawing belongs to them, as they claim it's their art.
PEOPLE, PLEASE RESPECT MY COPYRIGHTS AND STOP STEALING MY ART!
Art theft is not something new in the DArt community, but it's been happening too often lately and it's a bit of a shame really. If people can spend the time to claim one of my drawings as their own, I'm pretty sure they could also spend their time more productively making actual, original art of their OWN.
I'm no Leonardo Da Vinci myself, but I do work long and hard on my stuff and I'm damn proud of my work to let some stupid sod think they own it.
I am not above letting people create their own version of something I have made, with due credits and all, like this guy here: [link] who ASKED me first, but this THEFT thing is kinda ridiculous.
I can obviously not prevent anyone from actually stealing my stuff in the larger scale, but, next time one of you decides this is a good idea, please consider that from *my* point of view, deciding to STEAL my art means:
1) You're too LAZY to get your butt down to work and create something original of your own.
2) You're too WORTHLESS, UNINSPIRED and/or INSECURE to create something original of your own.
3) You're too IMMATURE to care at all.
And I am too pissed off to be polite about this. If anyone feels offended by this statement, please send me a note with your argument and we can talk about this like grown ups.
And that is why I'm putting the watermark on this.
-You CANNOT alter this artwork in any way.
-You can create your own version using this as a guide and WITH DUE CREDITS TO ME, but that's just about it.
-You can reblog it, share it or whatever, BUT WITH ALL CREDITS GOING BACK TO ME AND THIS DEVIATION.
-You CANNOT sell this anywhere.
-You cannot use it in your portfolio or whatever. It belongs in mine.

Well i love to draw dragons, but i often turn them into contour line because they are so complex creatures. But when i add wings they don't look like they were meant to be there or they were attached. They don't look like they belong on that dragon. Any words of advise or could you tell me how you learned to draw wings and what you do? Thx :3

Hello!
Well, one important thing you can use is reference photos. Dragons are practically some sort of overgrown lizard or another, so reptilian ref pics and dinosaur pics help a lot.
For the wings, check pics of bats or birds, and the important thing is that they should always be proportionally large to the main body of the dragon. Just try to think what size would be appropriate for a creature of a specific size to be able to fly easily. Pics of birds may help you find the right analogy, but it's also a matter of experience.
It also helps if you study the related works of other fellow artists. When i was younger, i used to copy works of other people quite often as an exercise. After a while, the right proportions just sort of got into my head. So, basically, observation and practice are the two key factors! You should also get you anatomy straight! A useful tip is that the wings of a dragon or a creature of similar anatomy are usually (but not always of course!) attached to the top of the shoulder blades. The same usually goes for angel wings, pegasi and all that. Think of them as an extension of the shoulder blade bone structure. Draw the skeleton and then ad the rest. (that is also a good way to structure your creature. If the skeleton looks right and balanced, the rest comes easier!)
Well, that's it really. I hope it helps a bit, but never forget: it's all about practice! And don't worry about making mistakes, because that's how you know you're getting better and what to NOT do next time!

WOW! Amazing! These shadows are nice, but this show of difference bitween human and dragon... ^^
