Start with the rough shapes/sketch with an airbrush. I don't usually follow the shapes correctly though, and sometimes have to alter them, or ignore them later on. Give a circle or square for the head, a large circle lower from the head for the chest, and a larger circle farther from those, like a waist of some sort. Small circles for the feet are optional, but if you're looking for more expressive arm/hand movement, then I highly suggest doing the small circles.

Make a new layer. For the head, I usually make the top part of the head flat, with a short drop below to the snout. I make my snouts long, but a bit curved. For the mouth, I make jagged lines along the mouth, and it's usually random looking in this process. I usually make the jaw a sharp angle. The horns vary on different dragon species, but I'm drawing ol' Darkstalker here, so I make the horns strangely shaped (I don't like drawing the horns at all). The ears are not too big, and not too small, and I usually have them more long than big, and then make them smaller twords the head. I don't move on to the eyes until I finish the rest of the sketch.

Oh look, just like I predicted, I didn't follow the first sketch! But anyways, draw the base. Make the neck long and sturdy, the rest of the body sturdy and long like the neck. The legs should be decently long, the claws looking like, well, claws, and the tail should be in some sort of curved state (that's how I usually have my tails). Some parts of the legs (elbows, etc) should be pointy.
