Whats your process for drawing reptilian characters? Also what are some important tips for drawing them that really helps the piece?

*cracks knuckles*

So first things first to start this all off, I use a lot of squares and triangle shapes. BG3 actually helped quite a bit with solidifying this for me too with how they went about the dragonborn in that

Here's a bit of a visual for what I mean with squares and triangles. obviously, the snout will vary, as will the mouth and head shape but its a start. Sometimes the head shape can be more of a pinched oval, or an egg shape too

What also helps me is (for side profiles at least) is knowing where the jawline is and where the cheek bone--so to speak--also is. Other features like eyes and mouth fall into place after that in where they go and such, but using a t shape for the eye and face alignment also doesnt hurt. Ya know, that one art trick everyone uses for faces

Another way to look at drawing reptilian faces (or even other races sometimes too) is like you're squishing it a bit. And using a W shape for the mouth as well.

Granted a lot of these examples I'm using are drawn on the fly and don't get into the nitty gritty details but sometimes having a visual helps cuz I'm bad at describing shit with just words, There's also the fact that I like to cover up some of my own shortcomings with ectra little details and lines so breaking it down to the basics is kinda like my way of teaching

And if some of yall wanna see what I mean with these examples and how it translates to a final product, here's the shape ot the face of one of my most recent pic/updates. Got a Y shape for the brow and nose, square ish features for everything else, and in this case the mouth is a bit more beak shape but its still got that W going

I know I've used shit like Taran Fiddler and the works of some of my friends for help with this stuff, and sometimes even looking at mammalian face shapes helps. If you wanna get freaky with it too, looking at fishy heads is always an idea

Hope that helps ^^; and thanks again for asking
