That's pretty good :D If you're open to advise, maybe trying to start with the darker shade of the scales, then add the ligher colors over. For example, draw the scales dark red, then add brighter reds on the scales closer to the "light source". If not, this looks okay as is.

Thank you so much! There's alot i need to improve on in my artwork, so any advice you can give is always welcome! I'll definitely try out your advice, though it may be for another picture. =)
