Dragon Rough Draft

There’s this dragon image I’ve been wanting to draw for a while. I don’t want to use up my good paper yet, so I sketched on a newspaper I picked up on the drive to this new job I’m at. I’m going to work on the finer details of the anatomy and pose of the dragon next, but this is a great start. My main inspiration was the Dragonology book and its counterpart, the Dragonology Handbook, as well as velociraptor skeletons.

I drew the bones to help me think out the pose, and also because the velociraptor skeletons had a big influence here.
