How to draw an Occidental

The body of the Occidental is generally nice and serpentine looking rather than blocky but I have seen dragons that look good with that 'tank' dragon feel and they look fine too so whatever is your pereference.

Description: Occidental, A dragon with four legs and a pair of wings, also known as an European, Welsh and a lot of other names, dragon. It is the most famous and in my oppinion it was the dragon that actually gave the species its name 'dragon' etemology wise. which if i remember correctly means something along the lines of "seeing clearly" or "having clear sight" I chose to call this particular kind of dragon Occidental simply to commpliment the Oriental. Occidental means 'protaining to the west', which in itself is a misnomer because it didn't originate in the 'western' hemisphere. but it is west If you relate it to the east. Good luck and criticism is welcome!
