Anatomy Drawing 1 (Female Dragon) by @NeoHeavenDT (Mel Eng Zhigang)

There, i finally finished the colours for her. Isn't she cuuuuuuuuuuuute ? :3 Ironically, she's also my first successful attempt at drawing a dragon. Why did she have to be nuuuuude ?! ;-;

I should make her a mascot or something. With some clothes on too, of course.

Not too bad, but i think i could have done a better job at the shading and highlights. The tail position really killed me in this one, since i can't determine how the light would fall on the tail. So if some of my light source position is incorrect in this one, please excuse me. I'm sucking at shadow and light placement (for the time being). I wanted to put some highlights on her skin, but seeing how i've screwed up a little here and there already, i decided against it.

I kind of like the shades on her right wing. I'm not sure if it's incorrect or not, but i still like how i placed the shadows for that wing. The shadows on her belly are quite appealing too. Anyways, on to the analysis.

Some of the things i've learnt on this study is to take note of the arch of the back on females that runs between the underside of the arm down to their bottom while in the standing position. It helps to determine the segments of the female body.

Another would be that the ribcage isn't meant to stick out too much on females, otherwise they will look gaunt. Smooth the rib cage lines as much as possible instead of angulating them.

The vagina for women is drawn as a small bump rather than a smooth curve going up the body. This is a mix between fact and fiction, as there is a bump there caused by flesh tissue, but it doesn't protrude that noticably (Or at least it was said so by a friend).

For placement of the nipple, they are drawn at the breast at 45 degree angles from the center line of the body.

If the legs are spread apart, a line that joins the butt muscle to the leg may be visible between the legs, just below the vagina.

One thing a friend of mine noticed this time that wasn't noticed in the B&W version was that the excess bit of line i drew for her left butt cheek. (Her left, your right). In the B&W version, it looks like her cheek extends almost halfway around her leg. In actual fact, the line should cut off at the thigh. And it's entirely possible/passible if the thigh line came up a little after the butt outline (Like in this illustration). Not the other way around.

Draconic anthros can be drawn with a slightly longer neck as compared to other anthro specie types. This gives a distinguished physical feature to them and helps the viewer ascertain that the creature is a dragon.

And that concludes my study for this anatomical piece. I may change the document text as i see fit at any time.

BTW, this is an anatomical study, not friggin' soft core pornography. If any of you furverts are staring at this right now and trying to get off, get the hell out of here. And don't even think of distributing this around, i've got it plastered with copyrights.
