Does anyone know where I could find an online guide to how to draw fantasy characters

Drawing is one of my favorite hobbies. People that have seen my work say that it is really good. I draw mostly the characters from Star Wars. Right now I'm working on drawing characters from fantasy novels. I'm able to draw humanoid fantasy charcters such as hobbits, elves, sorcerers, demons, orcs, goblins, dwarves, kings, knights, soldiers, warriors, vampires, werewolves, imps, trolls, etc. very easily, but I seem to be having a problem in drawing huge beast-like monsters such as dragons, balrogs, hydras,
lava monsters, griffins, and the like. Could somebody here please tell me where I could possibly find some kind of online guide or webpage that would tell me how to draw fantasy characters and monsters?

I am a little confused here... would not your best course of action be to look at other examples of this kind of artwork?

The best site I have found for Fantasy & SciFi art is the Elfwood site:- http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/elfwood.html

I have just paid a quick visit and they have a link to the Fantasy Art Resource Project (FARP), which I think is what you need, to go streight there:- http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/farp/index.html

They have guidline on drawing certain creatures.

Hope this helps...
