My First Dragon!!!!!!!!!!

First Dragon? Not bad at all. It's a lot better than my first dragons that I did. Maybe I should draw some of those. lol

awesome! i love it keep up the great work

Mua? Picky?! HA! I'm not picky Dura-chan, I'm a friend who was asked to help somebody draw a dragon! And it looks fine! ^_^ Unless you were referring to someone else, though I don't know who that'd be. KEH, anywhoo, sorry it took me so long to comment on this. I LOVE THE LACK OF LINNNEESSSSS! Yippe!

that is a nice dragon the feet are soo cool and its eyes and soooo cooool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i love ur work!!!!!!!!1

First time doing a dragon, eh? Hmm... (<i>stares at the drawing like a ravenous hyena about to devour its prey</i>) Buckle up! This may be a rough ride.<br />
<br />
I like the wings. They could probably use a little more muscle on the limbs (i.e. near the shoulders), but they're not brittle-thin either. Wings are limbs and not attached afterthoughts.<br />
<br />
The spikes on the elbows are decorative features with no real function. The dragon's right hind leg seems to have disappeared -- I can only find three legs, not four.<br />
<br />
The tail nags at me, mostly how it connects at the hips. Its lower contour should probably line up with the stomach contour instead of the hip contour, and the tail's upper contour blends in with the wing contour a little much for me.<br />
<br />
The spinal decoration is okay, but I get the impression that it stops at the shoulders instead of flowing down the back and tail. Maybe it's because of the neck contour, which doesn't seem to match the tail contour very well.<br />
<br />
The dragon's eyes seem a bit too elongated. Eyeballs are usually <i>spherical</i>, remember, which sorta rules out the super-elongated eye sockets. Also, the dragon has a brain somewhere in that cranium, right? The head can't be all eyes, nose, and mouth.<br />
<br />
About the head -- the neck contour should generally line up even with the bottom of the jaw, and the fangs nag at me a little -- fangs are usually put at the front of the mouth so that they can be used to grab & hold onto live prey. At the back of the mouth, they're basically all decoration, no purpose.<br />
<br />
Had enough yet? Yes? Okay. I'm part of our forum critique panel, so I'm very adept at discussing the nits. I hope I'm not sounding too negative, because this drawing isn't.<br />
<br />
One last piece of advice I can still give though is to practice doing quick concept/block sketches of the creature. Block sketches are little more than glorified five-minute stick figure doodles. They're the foundation upon which drawings are built, so they REALLY help.<br />
<br />
If you're interested, there's a drawing about halfway through my gallery called "A Dragon Is Born" which shows how a drawing can progress from a simple block sketch to a fantastic result.<br />
<br />
So overall, not a bad job. The more you practice drawing a type of creature the better you'll get. I can testify to that personally, because I've had A LOT of experience drawing dragons. If I had to rate this on a scale from 1 to 5, I'd place it somewhere in the middle, at about a 3. Not bad.
