Dragon Anatomy(wip) READ DESCRIPTION

Edit 6-17-2014: I need to clarify something since some people are to hard-headed to understand my statement below. When i say guide and reference, that does NOT mean you can use it as a base and recolor it. I said-->"  please do not trace, re-post anywhere, in any shape,form, or alteration."  This image is suppose to help beginners to figure out anatomy. That means you draw YOUR OWN dragon FREE HANDED and only LOOK at this one to help you figure out the body.

I want to help beginners become better artist, not promote lazy tracing OR base making/recoloring ect.........you get the idea. 


I also plan on updating this image in the future.

I'm working on a dragon anatomy reference here(isn't he a handsome devil?), 

I debated on whether or not i should go with a mammal's rib cage and sternum, or a birds. What do you guys think?

Bty any other critiques are welcome too. Flow, muscles,pose ect. (i'll clean it up when i done with the finishing touches)

Also, i know, one wing is supposed to be the entire length of the body, but the length of the wing only goes to where you see that little line i made below the tail is. I wonder if that little bit of extra length matters.

Any-who, other that that, the anatomy is mostly correct. So feel free to look to this dragon as a GUIDE to help you draw your own dragon. Otherwise, please respect my rights to this image, please do not trace, re-post anywhere, in any shape,form, or alteration.
