Asian Dragon One

I'm currently drawing an Asian dragon which I'm modelling after the image on the left. I have realized though that this image poorly defines the dragon itself and is a bit unclear because the artist has used flames and smoke and water to cover up the places where the dragon doesn't curve properly. That creates a great look, but I'm trying to get the mechanics down so I think that I'll draw the next Asian dragon out of my imagination. However, I like how this one is turning out so far.
