How on earth would i go about modelling a game of thrones dragon?

Right, first of all, im not a noob, but im not master, with time i know i can do it. My issue is i cant get ANY good angles of the dragons from game of thrones/wyverns since thats what they actually are. Ive watched timelapses of other people modelling them and i dont understand how they just KNOW how to do it. i hope ive explained it correctly. PS: I would show what i have so far but about 5 minutes ago i closed blender without saving.
