Dragon - Ink/Graphite

Here is one I have had on the back burner for quite some time. It is ink and graphite and drawn from my imagination. I am having trouble with the wings. Not sure about the size or style?

Sorry about the crappy scan



Here is a detail of the dragon's head.

This is very nice artdude. You might try looking at some bat wings for inspiration on your dragon wings. Studying the bone structure of bats was helpful to me in designing realistic looking dragon wings.

Hey artdude,

I did a quick diagram of a bat's wing for you, hoping you'd find it useful. Here you go. Sorry about the crappy photo, but you get the idea.

Hey, artdude!
I really love your pen and ink work. The fins on his/her head are particularly interesting.

I like the cropped one A lot of detail here. Then when I scrolled down the page, the coloured one hit me. I like that too.
