Thanks for the compliment Lauradrakkyn.Β Ummm I don't see any in your gallery or else I might have some suggestions for you.
Β In general I can say I still have a long way to go to get where I want to be with my art as well. There was a time I was no good at drawing claws
too and then there is now where I am better at it then I was, what's changed is my studying other artists whose work I admire and practice practice practice.
P.S. May want to check your keyboard...
I think your Caps Lock key is stuck.

OH IS IT? I HADN'T NOTICED! NO I DON'T POST MY DRAWINGS ON DA. JUST PAPER. I'LL GET MY KEYBOARD CHECKED.

Most of my art is on paper too, drawn with a plain 2b mechanical pencil, it doesn't stop me from posting it.
If you don't want to that's okay but if you are unsure how to get them on DA just ask.

Erm....... I have absolutely no idea how to, and in case it requires a tool, my family doesn't know I have this account so........ T^T

Well DA only accepts digital files so yes you do need a way to get your paper art into digital if you are interested in posting it here.
Most people use a camera, a cell phone or a scanner. Some who don't have any of those get a cheapo USB flash drive and just let their local copy shop
convert the drawing to digital and put it on the USB stick for them. So yeah some tool (from $5 and up) is required.
If you are over 18 then it doesn't really matter if they know.

Nope. Not over 18. Eh heh heh. ^-^'

Ah well then I can't say what you should do. Up to you to judge the situation but I will say that I looked it up and
the minimum legal age for operating a DA page is 13 so as long as you are 13 or over you are okay as far as DA is concerned.
You can read the pertinent rule here ---> help.deviantart.com/696/
That's all I can do for ya on that front.
Cheers!

:fanmode on: Awesomeness! You definitely should draw more dragons! *nods enthousiasticly* :fanmode off:
... would you like me to do the artistmode too?
π: 0 β©: 1
Think I will.

Oh dear...
[artistmode on]First... this is not finished. It's a sketch.
Finish it. That would be a great start 
Though the rough sketch looks pretty great, there are a few things off in my opinion.
You made a great start at the head, already have some shading in it. I'm not sure if it was your intention, but it looks like the upperlip is a bit off.. unless you intended for the dragon to lift up his upperlip Perhaps to snarl?
Also, the teeth in his upperjaw should lean a bit more to it's left to make it match the stance of it's head.
It's a nice, but tricky pose for a dragon. But somehow it looks like his hind-legs are a little too short for this dragon in comparishment with it's for-legs, which are very long. Perhaps making the chest of it's body a bit bigger, solves that.
The for-leg up front also has a bit of a strange way to be attached to the body. Doesn't look quite natural, if you follow me. I think that one line above the spikes on it's elbow, should maybe be mirrored.
The wings might need to be re-attached a little closer to it's shoulderblades. Don't want the dragong flying off butt first, do we?
Wings are nicely composed though *nods*.
I do love the claws. Those are very well sketched indeed! Perhaps a bit weird for a dragon as they look quite human-like..but then again.. nobody REALLY knows what dragons look like
Will you finish this at some point?

Think I will do more dragons. Ahem.

You managed to make that sound.... very wrong *giggles*

--nice art and keep it up

Great dragon full of strength! I add it to my favorites... although I'm not sure ... he seems more dangerous than a llama ...

I love the facial expression/ head shading and the paw <3
The wings need a bit of an improvement, though. But who am I to say that XD
π: 0 β©: 1
Thankyou kindly Eldnsay.
No worries I appreciate and welcome constructive criticism and I agree too there are several areas that could use more work
but being that this was only going to be a 20 min sketch the wings only got a minute or two each.
The majority of the time was spent on the rendering the face/teeth and so other parts
(like the far hind leg) are little more than quick scribbles to define a shape.
Sometimes when I am unsure what to draw, on the advice of a friend, I'll set the screensaver
on my computer that faces me for 20 minutes and just go until the screen changes, whatever comes out
is what comes out. It's a good way to warm up or get past artblock and occasionally you'll get something post worthy.

Wow, nice indeed
You really captured the ferocity in it's expression.

Thanks Raqonteur, much appreciated.
Out of curiosity is your name a play on the French word for witty storyteller, the band Raconteur or something else?
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm glad that someone has picked up on the name
This should hopefully explain...
