Drawing Dragon Bodies

Legs are tricky. Depending on your 'beliefs' about dragon anatomy, leg designs can vary widely. In this tutorial, I make the basic assumption that dragon legs are like cat or dog legs. From the base of the shoulder circle, draw a small oval. This represents the bicep. From there, you can draw a longer, thinner foreleg oval. The oval for the thigh should start higher on the hip oval, as it connects directly to the hips. I'll go into skeletal theory later, which will explain why the forelegs start so low in the drawing. But, in the case of the back legs, they connect up toward the hips. The second oval is the equivalent of a human calf muscle.
