great to see these tutorials being used!

One thing i would say is that the nose could be a bit sharper and not so rounded / smooth..make it a bit more aggresive.

Good job though mate user added image

Thanks Kev. I plan to add some more detail and i'll take a look at the snout. Sometimes though i just need to step back for a little while as i'm terrible tweaker. I never seem to be satisfied. user added image

Hey good start,, I plan on doing the whole dragon but got to take care of some stuff I’m doing on a game mod, I use the tutorials for help since I can’t take classes right now. At this point every thing helps. Keep up the good work user added image
