One of my pet peeves is a how to draw a dragon tutorial that is supposed to be for kids, but is really much more appropriate for teenagers or adults. Here are a few options in one handy place.
Your drawing may of course be completed however you like, but I recommend that you try coloring your dragon with two values of whatever color you choose. Press hard to get a darker color for the top of the head and neck, and then a lighter for the underside belly. The overall look will create a blended look, just like to pros create!
