These are just rough sketches of the outline of the body for a dragon, right? And you're going to add details to them?
If so, they look pretty fantabulous to me. You seem to have grasped the basic shape of a Dragon, now all you need to do is put your designing skills to the test.
Excellent.

Took the words right out of my mouth.
As said, you already have the shape down, excellent sketch.
Only concern is the head doesn't look too...dragon-like. It somehow looks like a herbivore dinosaur head-- and there's a difference betweeen the two.
It might be your own personal style, but that bothered me a bit.
Overall, awesome sketch! Great work!

Fantabulous =D
Yes, these are just basic sketches trying to get an idea of what their bodys and wings should look like. The heads were really just circles with stubby lizard noses stuffed on them so that they would look like heads =P Ill be practicing head shapes and facial anatomy one I get a hang of the bodys. Which will hopefully be soon.
Oh and thank you both
Ref pictures still are welcomed. =d

Did someone say reference pictures? =D
There's not much to critique because its just the basic framework - which is incredibly accurate. The only thing I can suggest is that you embellish it a little more. For example, add something to the overall design before you color it, such as some spikes, or something more to you liking. The anatomy is done well, but it looks like a simple dinosaur - despite their similarities- not too dragonlike. Get creative and add more to it. Also, about the dragon in the bottom left coner, it's back legs are higher than its front; you may wat to ammend that and make them as close to equal as you can attain. The tail should too be aligned with the legs, if its just standing on all fours.
Other than that, stupendous work. I can't wait to see the finished product.

Thankyouthankyouthankyou =D Oh those will help so much.
The basic framework was pretty much all these were ment to be, just wanted to see if that ideas looked reasonable before seting my mind on drawing dragons with those kinds of anatomys. These are also the first time Ive really tryed to draw drgaons, besides coping the styles of an existing picture, so im not sure whatkind of designs they shoud have on them.
As for the second ones back legs being too long, that one is suposed to look racoonish, and from what I can remember racoons front legs are shorter than their back legs, thus making the back look "humped". But these idea sketches were both right from my memory of random animals bodys, not sure if their back legs are truly longer. The second one makes a lot more sense standing on two legs though, will sketch a pic of that to show ye soon.
Thanks again.

Hmm, the body is great! This is the first picture which has a great build. You can add details later, and it could be a bit better and realistic looking once you color and fill it in.

The torso is a bit too slumped in. It looks like it's starving. I'm afraid that the hind legs stick out too much. The pose of it is not bad. But the wing that is hidden doesn't stick up and show like that.

Overall, you really did capture the forms of a dozen or so animals VERY beautifully while making a dragon at the same time... Since it's framework, none of us can really give any really amazing critiques, put here's my two (thousand) cents!
The way the wing connects on the shoulder looks rather awkward; the skin and muscle appears to almost refold in an angular way, where it could be curvier. The torso needs to curve more smoothly at the base of the neck and the edges need to show the bone. The second one looks fine, but the upper arm and wing annoy me for already stated reasons. And, above the limbs, you might want to show where the shoulder peeks up a bit. But other than that, it looks fabulous!
