It seems very flat-footed, not something you see in a well build predator. I always go for a more dinosaur like design, with them standing more on their toes.

Ohh, You should involve different breed anatomy as well!
Like dragons whome are more lizardlike.

I might do more specialized tuts for different species - this was just a really basic guide.

Something I noticed that also has been my problem with dragon anatomy for a long time. Having for legs and wings requires two sets of pectoral (chest) muscles and of course two sets of the muscles in the back. I've always wondered that if you were to include all the necessary muscles for dragons fore legs and wings to work, how would you fit all those muscles in there?

I do my best to fit all of the muscles into the chest/torso area, and overlap them over each other. For example, I put in the normal leg/chest/back muscles, and then I add in the wings, wrap the wing pectoral muscles around the torso, (like just behind the normal shoulders,) and then add some back muscles overtop.

This is a really good tutorial! Maybe consider putting a picture of a bat or bird of prey in your group of reference animal pictures. Just to show people how wings correspond to chest size and such
