Heya, first of all, great dragons! I think you're on the right path. I've been interested in pendrawing too. And something that really helps is outlining the shape with your shading. You are already doing it in the green parts! >:D I tried showing it in purple on parts you did not, I hope you can see it :s Also did a bit in red. But if a thing is round, try round lines. If you draw all your lines downwards, it makes it hard to see what the shapes are, it flattens. It gives it more depth to 'follow' the shapes you are making. Also try to leave light areas light. I know it is very tempting to put lines there and then you're not sure, so you make more lines. But less is more, with crosshatching light parts. So my advice is learn perspective and shape. It is boring but it will help a lot. So you can follow the shapes. Less boring tips. You may like to look up the manga Witch Hat Atelier, it has beautiful hatching. I also like to Stephen Travers Art on youtube. He does not draw dragons unfortunately, but he is quite good at pen drawing and has videos on cross hatching. Hope this helps you! Keep drawing <3

I'm not good at hatching and other shading method (like cross hatching, shadow and light area) and value important. Plz teach me hatching and other shading method like manga style. Also tell where i was messed up in two drawing and where should I improve more.
