Ok, I'm having trouble adding shadows on my dragons face where the bone structure and muscles are. I'm also having trouble with the front paws (Which are more like human hands) and the back paws. Can you help me please?
Try drawing the skull first on it's own layer if it's digital. Use this as your guide line until you're comfortable drawing without out. As far as shadows, I would recommend practicing on easier shapes first, cubes, sphere's, etc until you are confident enough to transfer those skills to a more complicated object aka a dragon.
Try drawing it on paper first. on the back use a pencil to shade behind the image. You can transfer it that way onto another piece of paper for inking.
