Description
Encouraged by ppl who seem to enjoy my dragon works I decided to add some to the pile of already existing dragon tutorials.This won't be a drawing techniques guide - I won't focus on things like "add shade here, put light there, change brush to something". I assume u can handle your favourite medium yourself and in your own way. This is gonna be a design tutorial on how I'm used to make dragon figures.
I thought it will be a 2-part guide (sketch and colours), but it grows bigger as I make it, so there will be 3 pages at least. Sorry to those who don't like to read.
In part 1 u can find basics and general mechanics of how the dragon is built. It may seem boring to some of u, but I put there everything I have or used to have problems with, as well as things I find spoiled in other ppls works or just tips on how to achieve or avoid some effects. The same manner will continue on the next pages - again sorry to the bored with reading a lot.
Part 2 - limbs
Part 3 - final touch

This is great! I think this will help with making dragons in minecraft as well I can never figure out stuff like how thick the lower jaw must be, or how long the tail should be, or how it should end.

The best thing u can do when in doubts is look for some real animal skeleton and base on its bones.
As for the tail ending - it's mostly up to your imagination: some give it spikes, fin, scythe, arrow-like bone piece...

U're welcome
I just came back from holidays and trying to get back to "normal" (like reading tons of mails/messages), but I have some ideas for the second part already.

After I got my first tablet I found that overall drawing is easier on computer, but still I feel better when sketching with pencil. No idea why.
