Description You asked for it, here it is! it's my first tutorial so I hope it will help! I tried to make one a bit different from the usual anatomy ones you can find on deviantart.

I focused more on the details, shapes, types of dragons, so you can diversify the types of dragons you're drawing! I hope it will help!

EDIT: About the WINGS attached to the top of the shoulder: some people said it's impossible for a dragon to fly with wings at this place, but I focused on aesthetics more than on anatomy logic (after all if we follow logic, you should have to make your wings with a very precise size, calculate everything according to the weight of your dragon, etc, etc) Dragons don't exist and that's why it is fun to draw them. I chose the example of the wing attached to the shoulder because it's for me the most beautiful one and the one we see the most even in professional artworks, because it looks more "badass" and elegant. But of course you can put the wings lower on the back, or attach them differently to the body. I just won't guarantee it will look good. There are so many different ways to draw a dragon ^^

Disons que ce ne sont pas exactement "les bases du dessin" mais des idΓ©es pour dΓ©tailler ou diversifier tes dragons si tu en dessines

But what about the front claws? I have huge problems with the hands of a dragon :/

Evolvana In reply to BlueShiranui [2014-08-22 23:33:09 +0000 UTC]

Usually I draw the front claws a bit like the back ones, but a bit thiner ^^

what do you recommend when it comes to scaleing(size)

Evolvana In reply to conscript900 [2014-05-14 21:37:49 +0000 UTC]

I love drawing enormous dragons, so it really depends on your tastes ^^ they can be as large as you want!

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

conscript900 In reply to Evolvana [2014-05-14 21:46:15 +0000 UTC]

I mean more or less in comparission to other parts like the length of the legs or the neck. etc

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Evolvana In reply to conscript900 [2014-05-15 16:15:02 +0000 UTC]

My white dragon has a very long neck, short legs and small wings, but my Smaug has a shorter neck and bigger wings for exemple... so you're free to draw what you prefer.

If you draw a flying dragon, the wings should be quite big, it has to look a bit realistic (very small wings would look strange on a big dragon).
