A dinosaur what I gone and drawn

As some readers may already be aware, I am known to draw dinosaurs occasionally. I'm certainly no artist - it's just something I do for a bit of therapeutic fun in my spare time. I've never considered my doodlings to be worthy of being presented to the world on LITC, but I have put them on Facebook for friends to see. After I posted a Giganotosaurus portrait recently some people - mostly named David and Niroot, not to mention Sharon - said that I should put it up here. So, slightly embarassed though I am, here it is.


It's drawn in ink and coloured in pencil, and is based on Scott Hartman's recent skeletal (Greg Paul, in his Field Guide, also restored the skull in a similar way).

So that's that. Back to the real art on Monday, with Sibbick's 1985 thyreophorans (ankylosaurs and stegosaurs)!

  3. My only disappointment is that you shared only one. Your recent Giraffatitan is another especially lovely piece. At this rate, I may persuade David to make a few choice selections and post them instead. *Rubs hands*

  6. Marc, it looks fine to me. Nothing to be embarrassed about. Pls feel free to share more after we're all Sibbick'd out.

  7. Oh, I didn't know you had more on Facebook, so I went and did some creeping there...lovely! I agree with Niroot about only sharing one here. Again, the texture and the color have an appealing and unique feel - I'm guessing some kind of pen for the linework/texture and then maybe colored pencil? I can't really tell, but whatever it is, it's working!
