anywayyyyyyy
drawing dragon full bodies can be annoying, but something to keep in mind while doing them is anatomy.
since dragons are fictional creatures, you can use any anatomy, but i personally use a mix of cat, dinosaur, and horse. it really depends on the dragon.
you can look these things up on Pinterest, and you might see something like this come up:

all of these (and images like them) are things i reference regularly! of course, wings of fire dragons have a slightly different build than the one above, but it's still extremely useful

now on the actual dragon-drawing steps- i'll be doing Whiteout, because i actually haven't drawn her yet!
each tribe has their characteristics, but really have mostly the same build. here's a few differences though:
mudwings- more barrel-chested, will be much stockier than any other tribe.
sandwings- longer tails for scorpion-stinger-thingies.
skywings- skinny, but strong. not very graceful though.
seawings- round features, fish-like
rainwings- these are basically graceful long beans
icewings- angular features
nightwings- stocky, shorter legs
leafwings- long beans
silkwings- graceful, but with slightly smaller heads and thicker necks. they're pretty wierd.
hivewing- tall and skinny, with angular features.
