Need help with dragons

[Hitaka5Ever]

Hello, a bit of a backstory. For 2020, I learned to draw cats. Well for 2021, I would like to learn to draw dragons and I could use some help finding good references. Right now, I want to learn how to draw bodies that twist around to make a loop effect. I figured the best way to get reference for this was snake videos or photos where the snakes are twisting themselves, but I'm not sure what I should Google to get specifically what I want. So if anyone has site recommendations specifically for snakes that likely has what I'm looking for, I'd appreciate any links to sites or videos of snakes

Any other tutorials or references that you would recommend when it comes to drawing dragons would be very appreciated too, so share anything you believe will help me! I could also use some pose ideas for full body work (I would like to start taking dragon commissions, so I need the practice)

Thanks for reading and the help!

i would recommend looking into the Wings of Fire fandom? the book series is about dragons, and the official art + book covers are pretty good, and theres a lot of stellar dragon art in the fandom

I do follow the fan account that's doing the animation series, but I'll definitely look up the books and read up on the lore! They've actually been an inspiration as of late ^^

Thanks for the advice!
