Here is an updated version!
Western Dragon anatomy v.2 by Sezaii

---------------------------

Thought I would just get this out of my fuckin brain once and for all...god why do I have to put myself through this type of art...why couldnt I decide to draw a proper picture with a BACKGROUND and may be even a fully illustrated bloody character. No. I draw sideviews. Nothing interesting. And next week I will be angry at this because I will see all the faults. Well, I already see loads of faults... and I drew it yesterday.

Why cant I just...not give a damn about anatomy

Took me all my free time on Sunday night to write all that bloody text. Please, tell me if there are any typos, there will be many.

And also, remember dragon anatomy is down to OPINION.
Dont become all bitchy with me if you dont like to draw dragons this way or think you know best...no one knows best when it comes to dragons. I do it myself, but try not to. (although when people draw wings coming out straight above the front legs that does piss me off XD)

if you are interested in what I referenced the anatomy from, I combined canine, avian, kangaroo and horse so its a bit mary-sueish I'm afraid...no creativity here.

last thing. I DID NOT use ANY other dragon anatomy tutorials, ref sheets or standalones in the making of this. ALL anatomy here is from my own research.

Er?! I thought I have commented on this one?D: Hm, maybe I commented on my phone, which loves to eat such kind of texts.
Anyway, I cannot say this often enough because you do not give me the ability to breath between two of your submitted picturesXD With every new picture you avoid a mistake you have done in the previous. I honestly cannot see anything I have to criticize, not even yet, now, that I write the comment a second timexD I love the smoth shading you did with pencil and your anatomical knowledge is impressive! its truly something young artists will search after in the internet when they search for dragon anatomy. I really have never seen such a beautiful reference of a normal dragon:) By the way, have you referenced the shoulder part from a canines anatomy?:3
