Heh, I decided to start giving y'all some tutorials! Yay!

Anyway, this is the Western Dragon Flying tutorial. I know I have man-writing, so I shall read them to you. Hrm... *puts on glasses*

This is in 1, 2, 3, 4 format, by the way, left to right.

WESTERN STYLINGS: FLYING MANUALLY

During slower speeds, dragons' tails hang down, unsupported by wind. During the "upbeat", or point of maximum height of wings in flight, the body is also unsupported by wind.

The neck flexes; for the most part, the head doesn't move. During the "downbeat", the tail lifts and the neck arches upward. The feet always hang down, regardless of wing position. The wings revolve in a counter-clockwise motion.

"Backwinging" describes braking or a brief, strong jump followed by one or three strokes of the wings, usually used to take off or to leap higher than normal.

A diving dragon will fold its wings tightly against its body and use the tail and neck rather than its "pinion-fingers" (the prongs, or fingers of the wing) to steer and control flight. The dragon stretches out its forepaws to make their bodies more aero-dynamic, and their hind legs splay out behind them as usual. To come out of a dive, they simply look in the desired direction and flare (open) their wings.
