So here it is. The new and improved dragon tutorial. Hope you like this one better than my old one. I certainly do. Hope it can be of any help to someone.

Enjoy.

EDIT: I corrected some of the misspellings. (Please note me if there's some left, english is only my second language ;))

Daily DeviationDragon Tutorial - New by *alecan is an amazingly simple yet comprehensive and useful dragon tutorial, and one of the best (if not the best) I've ever come across. Instead of sticking to one type of dragon, she encourages others to look at anatomy of animals around us and apply it to dragons, instead of perpetuating the idea that there's only one "correct" way to draw a dragon.

Impressive! One of the most comprehensive dragon tutorials I've come across so far.

I won't quibble too much about the musculature of a mythical creature, but I find that the main wing muscle should sweep a little forward in order to be able to pull the wing down. The way it's set it doesn't seem to be fully able to do that. Also the shoulder muscles would be equally well developed. Your way is close to birds' flight muscles. Another way would be something similar to bats--they have well-developed chest and shoulder muscles. In a way, they can be considered better flyers than birds, acrobatically.
*alecan:iconalecan: Feb 17, 2008, 9:21:25 AM
yes, the wing musculature is especially hard on dragons since all other flying things don't have any arms. and then the fitting of the wing muscluature is hard. I chosed the bird way, but as I say in the tutorial this is no complete guide, just how I do them. Another way would be to have muscles in front of the leg as well, but I think it's just a matter of what you prefer yourself.

Thanks for commenting
