Someone on Tumblr wanted a tutorial on how I draw night/light furies, so here's what I threw together.

So I kinda suck with tutorials, but basically I try to go with night furies being a bit "sharper" than light furies. These dragons are sleek and agile, so you're working with a streamline form: longer body, flatter head, and fins for flying and lift!

Night fury heads are longer and flatter than their light fury counterparts. They are also bulkier, especially in the chest and limbs. I often use two circles to represent the chest(larger circle) and hips(smaller). I connect these with kind of a "tube" shape to build the basic body shape.

Fury legs are also a bit on the shorter side too, so they're not going to be standing tall like a dog or a cat, but instead more like a gecko or reptile. I use a basic circle to connect the legs to the body and the rough shape of the lower section of the leg to build its form. These two points are connected with a simple line and I'll block in the rough shape of the foot.

For the wings, I do a rough outline shape and just start placing in the detail planning starting with the main limb that builds the wing, then onto the "fingers" of the wing along with shaping out the wing membrane more depending on the species (usual dragon shape for night furies, rounded for light furies).

So ya, dunno how much this actually helps but it's a messy way of how I do it. XvX
