Drakmanka Bust

The finished version of Drakmanka - WIP
I learned so much from this drawing. As I stated on the other picture's page, this was my first real attempt at drawing scales. I'm reasonably pleased with how they turned out.
The level of detail I put into this isn't quite as noticeable now that it's completed, but I shaded each individual scale. Now that it's finished, and I see that the difference made by said shading is somewhat negligible, I don't think I will do that again. Mainly because it's extremely time-consuming. I had planned on this being uploaded three to four days after I initially started on it, but now it's been almost a month. I would sit down occasionally, shade a few scales, get bored, and set it aside again.

I don't have a premium, but I am asking for critiques from any and all of my viewers!
