So I am new to drawing dragons, and am not very good at their anatomy. These are the 3 pieces I have done so far and I am wondering what I could do better anatomy wise.
First is a tundra, second is a ridgie, third is a fae. I think the headshots are mostly okay, but the full body looks a bit odd, especially the wings. Sorry for the large watermark on the last one.

I will put something here eventually.

For wings, I recommend that you look at bat wings for reference. There are a ton of photos online so it's (usually) pretty easy to find a similar pose to what you want to draw. It helps if you imagine the wing like a human arm, but with really long fingers and webbing between those long fingers. See the diagram below:

When it comes to dragon anatomy, it's easier to draw them if you understand basic animal anatomy. A lot of people will study animals like dogs or cats and then use that in their dragons. Dragons don't exist, so you don't have an actual animal to look at, unfortunately. That means a dragon's anatomy will vary a lot between artists and art styles. If you want, I could redline one of your pictures (you choose which one) to show you what looks off to me.
