I have a hard time deciding which Glaurung I like most...
So this is Tolkien's drawing:
I personally like this version by Ted Nasmith:
I think it has the right lizardy look. Maybe it could be a little bit more, I don't know, impressive?
I grew up with this picture of Glaurung (by Swedish artist Inger Edelfeldt) and I kind of like it because it's more a lizard than a typical dragon - but I think he's too fat:
The same goes for this version by John Howe. It's a great picture in many ways but I personally think Glaurung looks too much like a toad:
