big problem with dragons.help please

hey guys,
I have been really sruggling with dragons, i dont know weather to go full face kinda like a mermaid or one down the side. either way they never look like dragons any help or pics would be awsome.
Thankyou

I stink at the one down the side too. I had two different people show me the technique and mine are still not good.

thanks guys, and sparklingfaces i love your work, i love watching your new ones

This is my 1st dragon & I keep forgetting to get a new pic.


I also have a "dragonfly" dragon+butterfly in this months challenge.

i dont know if it worked but this is what i came up with, what do you think????

lol sorry, i just saw my dragon and realised i put it on 2 times lol

this is mine... I do it down their arms sometimes too

I want to do a dragon, too! I've seen several one stroke techniques, but haven't gotten it yet. They always end up looking like a lizard

I'm going to try a lizard, then put wings on it.
Psalmbook, I am in awe of your talent. If that is your first dragon, you put many of us to shame. I'll just keep practicing, and maybe I'll be half as good someday.

here is mine

This is halfway through mine, haha. I add teeth and an evil eye, go over the spikes with metallix blue, and sometimes do belly marks in white. I don't usually do legs anymore, just more spikes.

I'd love to figure out a split cake dragon though - this one is pretty fast and the boys really like it, but it FEELS hit and miss sometimes. Does that make sense? I have a dragon mask (inspired by Vi's!) that I do as often as this one.
