This is by no means THE way to draw dragons, just how I do it. Most of my dragons are influenced by Larry Elmore.

However, I hope you can find some useful advice in this.

This goes to +favs if you ever do other again, be sure to PM me... I'd love to see it o_o... it's really nice this one, got and learned a few tips I guess you could've been a bit slower on the first steps, and give a bit more description on how each part of the dragon is drawn (as in... let's say, "the start of the neck from the jaw is a bit above it, and a bit into the head, like a turtle") or (as I saw you did on the wingspan, which was really helpful) what one is wrong and what one is right, that'd rock too, still, it's a very awesome dragon the one you drew there and the tutorial is really nice... I'm gonna learn from it

+fav and a xD

Calyfern [2005-12-24 16:01:38 +0000 UTC]

Wonderful! Although I'm already a dab hand at drawing dragons I always like to see other people's style. I also use them as a learning resource to help improve my own work, especially in areas that drive me up the wall at times, such as head and wing angles, feet (bit of a pet hate). Actually now I think about it a tutorial looking at wing structure wouldn't be a bad idea, it's always been a problem area for me.

I'm positive this will be immensely helpful to many artists.
