Hi there. I've just started to draw recently after an impulse to do so. I wanted to draw dragons so I went to Google and found out about this website and it has been helping me a lot. Here are my very first drawings, I know they have many flaws and for that same reason I need your help to correct them and to improve myself. Please feel free to critique..as long as it helps :)

I'm sorry for the quality of the drawings, it's because of my scanner (they look a bit better in my desk)

These are very good! :yahoo: I am no good at anatomy though so don't ask me to tell you want might be wrong with them. The only thing I'm concerned with is your bottom jaws. They seem to be a bit small for the upper jaw. But anywhy you're doing much better than when I first started! lol

Wow thank you both. I am stuggling a bit with the face and the lower jaw..I just can't manage to do them properly. It's easier for me to draw them with their mouths closed rather than opened

Please reduce the size of the images to 800 pixels in width, otherwise they will stretch the boards.

Haha! There is a gaping hole on the side! :o

Okay, now to the art. These are all pretty good, however Dragon number 3 needs a little bit of change. He's rather chubby in the middle section, and everytime I look at him, I picture those scrawny wings failing under his wait and him laying on the ground like Jaba the Hut. In fact, anatomically, I don't think his wings even work no matter what his size. I'll go do some redlines.


Edit: Okay here are some redlines, I've never done redlines before, so they probably look terrible and crappy, but they at least should give you an idea of what to do.

Edit: Darn! I forgot I was gonna to redlines on its head, oh well, hope I helped at least.
