Did you know technically Plesiosaurs weren’t dinosaurs? They were large swimming reptiles instead. I feel I should say “were” because, of all of the currently believed sitings they really couldn’t have happened. Sadly scientific evidence doesn’t support it. This doesn’t stop me from hoping they still exist today. However, with all of the stories IContinue reading “Sleepy Plesiosaurs”

Dino Yoga
Continuing with making animals do yoga here is a Euoplocephalous in downward dog. I chose to put this specific dinosaur in a yoga pose because generally when I see him, he seems very stiff and immobile which, in reality probably isn’t the case. I’m sure those back legs have a good deal of flexibility forContinue reading “Dino Yoga”
Gallimimus Playing Tag

The lighter pencil color lent itself well to the creation ofContinue reading “Gallimimus Playing Tag”

I blame my childhood plastic Brachiosaurus toy for why every Brachiosaurus I drawContinue reading “Brachiosaurus Mama and Baby”
Begging Dino
This isn’t any breed of dinosaur in particular. He just came to mind while I was sketching. He’s definitely a mixed breed, big human-like toes, puppy attitude and feathery covering. I feel like you can see a Seussian influence as well. Seuss was definitely the first children’s book illustrator I started mimicking when IContinue reading “Begging Dino”
Mirror Image
I can’t get enough Parasaurolophus, they are my favorite dinosaur. That love to see many of them is what spurred the idea to draw them reflecting. Their shape is just marvelous to me, they are the center dinosaur below. This was another piece that I started early then rushed the finish. I feel if IContinue reading “Mirror Image”
