Alright, I'll leave it at that for now. Next I'll try something a bit more stylized because drawing the fur like this is tedious as heck

This is working out so nicely, my art will never be the same again

Adapting my shading actually isn't nearly as difficult as I thought. On the contrary, I can ease up on its complexity because the fur patterns contribute to the depth, too

Holy crap, the sketch looks so weird. Maybe this is why i kept the details more coarse, because it looks better sooner.

The next new thing I'm going to try is drawing less coarse fur. I tried adding more detail to my art in the past, but it felt wrong because they wouldn't fit to the way I draw fur. And also other proportions, like the eye size.

It's going to be more lightweight than a typical wyvern, so it looks kinda like a bird-dragon hybrid
