Tbh I love the face ;W; I tried poking around with the stomach lines and can see where you would be frustrated. There's limited space and all that jazz. I'd honestly look at the core shape to see if you wanted to add more curve or body mass in a different way.

I'm just posting this as a what I'd do for the basic line of the spine. It's just a suggestion of a potential starting place x////x Someone better equipped will come along with a more educated answer soon I'm sure <3 Have fun and good luck with whatever solution you find! :3

Hey there. I really like what you have so far and I think a few tips could definitely help you finish it up. You definitely have a great foundation going on and no doubt it will look great once it's finished~

When it comes to line work(I barely use it now since I prefer to paint) you definitely want to keep in mind consistency. Generally speaking line art is used to represent the darkest value of a given object. The outer lines will appear thicker then the inside depending on the area and how saturated the area is in light. Always keep that in mind when you start rendering an image. :)

Flow is another thing that is very important to any image. It keeps the viewer interested in the piece. The dragon itself is in a familiar pose but it appeared to be stiff specifically around the neck area. Try curving it a bit more to emphasize on the serpentine body.

Below is a red line that shows the flow that could be used in the image as well as a quick line art I did to show what I am meaning. Keep in mind I barely use lines now so no doubt there will be errors in terms of consistency.

If you have any questions feel free to ask~
