Description
What inspired me to do this dragon was taking a look at one of Hannah Sputes' tutorials. Thanks a bunch Hannah for having that tutorial. It really helped me to get back to drawing my adorable little draggies!!!Related content

I'm glad they helped
Now! I'll first point out the things that need fixing first, those that really stand out:
The connection of the shoulder to the body should or could be moved either back along the ribcage, or down a little further towards the lower part of the chest. Show some structure of the shoulderblade/scapula, as there's really no way the dragon could move it's arms without it (well, there are, but that's getting technical).
The rear facing leg is out of place compared to the other three. It's far too long and could be shortened and placed closer to the body. If you're wanting to leg to be set out, foot farther from the body, then perspective needs to be more understood. Try and find images of dogs and how they stand, how the leg looks when it's pushed out from the body.
The wing humerus (upper arm and shoulder area) could be placed a bit farther up or forward and could really use more muscle (if in dire need, check out Todd Lockwoods dragon anatomy for a genius idea of muscle anatomy) if it ever intends to fly without magic.
The pose is a bit static, but that's alright. Again, look at pictures of other animals to see how they'd stand if something caught their interest, or when happy, sad, mad, excited, etc. Is there food? Is it about to rain? Did someone steal his box of candy???
The Good
The feet are nice and well placed, the fingers could use more work, but still well done. I definitely like the head, the body and the wing membrane which is hanging loosely from the digits.
