Pick up that pencil and keep on drawing!!! lol sorry, I'm just the forums local art fanatic and like to get up in people grill to draw, especially if they have the gift and talent to do so

I couldn't help but notice your comment on how you draw on paper. Instead of drawing with pencil, then getting a new sheet of paper to trace over it, draw over it with a pen then erase the pencil underneath it after a couple minutes of letting the ink dry.

And I am so staying out of this whole dragon business as dragons are far from my abilities lol. But something was said about basic shapes, which I can vouch for. If you start with simple shapes, like maybe a circle for the head, smaller circle for the nose and connect them together and then add details and curves to the shape, it just really helps build a foundation and guideline. I never recommend just drawing a picture as a whole, always start with just circles and lines, and then build on them from there. Afterall, if you go over the good lines with a pen later who cares how messy the pencil sketch looks lol I always say if the pencil sketch doesn't look like an incoherent jumble of lines that only the artist can understand and interpret, then the sketch could use a little more work haha. Like this is just me, but personally, my pencil sketch has at least... 3-4 layers minimum. Basic shapes, then the outline/naked body, then add the clothes, and then add the details on the clothes. Looks like a eyesore of a mess, but once the ink is thrown on top and the pencil's erased it looks clean and sensible and I'm rambling holy crap
