Worked on Regina’s base yesterday, using some clear UV resin for the “water.” #tyrannosaurus #tyrannosaurusrex #tyrannosaurid #tyrannosaur #theropod #garagekit #resinmodel #dinosaurs #dinosaurart #paleoart #paleontology #paleobiology #art #traditionalart #modelkits #resinkit #scalemodelling #drawing #animals #animalart #animalanatomy #anatomy #wildlife #wildlifeart #naturalhistory #naturalhistoryart https://www.instagram.com/p/CAjKWcxl3W1/?igshid=1eiennde4w416

Managed to find some time to work on this. Figured out the basic lighting and layout. #triceratops #ceratopsian #dinosaur #horneddinosaur #quetzalcoatlus #azhdarchid #pterosaur #dinosaurart #paleoart #paleontology #paleobiology #art #traditionalart #drawing #sketch #pencildrawing #doodle #portrait #animalportrait #animals #animalart #anatomy #animalanatomy #wildlife #photoshop #naturalhistory #naturalhistoryillustration #naturalhistoryart https://www.instagram.com/p/CAe-PeVlGV8/?igshid=1bwrm1o2oikea

The inspiration and reference for my Halszkaraptor painting idea. I took this photo of this heron on a camping trip last year. #halzkaraptor #dromaeosaur #dromaeosaurid #raptor #velociraptor #deinonychus #dinosaur #dinosaurart #paleoart #paleontology #paleobiology #art #traditionalart #drawing #sketch #pencildrawing #doodle #portrait #animalportrait #animals #animalart #anatomy #animalanatomy #wildlife #photoshop #naturalhistory #naturalhistoryillustration #naturalhistoryart #heron #bird https://www.instagram.com/p/CAUNI05FXW1/?igshid=1dcrf1htoy1tp

Used my airbrush quite a bit to shade and blend elements. This brand of illustration board isn’t as sturdy as the other brands I use (Crescent or Bainbridge), resulting in some mild warping. I used some clips to keep it flush to my easel. #tyrannosaur #tyrannosaurus #tyrannosaurid #tyrannosaurusrex #alamosaurus #sauropod #titanosaur #dinosaur #dinosaurart #paleoart #paleontology #paleobiology #art #traditionalart #painting #acrylicpainting #acrylics #animals #animalart #animalanatomy #anatomy #wildlifeart #wildlife #naturalhistory #naturalhistoryillustration #naturalhistoryart #landscapeart https://www.instagram.com/p/CAH8wi-lYTS/?igshid=1cjjiynfo8z1j

I actually started working on this last week while doing my English reading homework (listening to the audiobook version). #tyrannosaur #tyrannosaurus #tyrannosaurid #tyrannosaurusrex #alamosaurus #sauropod #titanosaur #dinosaur #dinosaurart #paleoart #paleontology #paleobiology #art #traditionalart #painting #acrylicpainting #acrylics #animals #animalart #animalanatomy #anatomy #wildlifeart #wildlife #naturalhistory #naturalhistoryillustration #naturalhistoryart #landscapeart https://www.instagram.com/p/B_69VhQF3oj/?igshid=k3jlpsv25q2f

Don’t think I’ve posted a rough sketch in a while. An idea of a stalking Tyrannosaurus illustration I had this afternoon. #tyrannosaurus #tyrannosaurusrex #tyrannosaurid #tyrannosaur #dinosaur #dinosaurart #paleoart #paleontology #paleobiology #art #traditionalart #drawing #sketch #pencildrawing #doodle #portrait #animalportrait #animals #animalart #anatomy #animalanatomy #wildlife #photoshop #naturalhistory #naturalhistoryillustration #naturalhistoryart https://www.instagram.com/p/B_69AopFgDD/?igshid=9nv7w5bg46di

Sketching out my Halszkaraptor painting idea, based on a heron I took pictures of while camping last year. #halzkaraptor #dromaeosaur #dromaeosaurid #raptor #velociraptor #deinonychus #dinosaur #dinosaurart #paleoart #paleontology #paleobiology #art #traditionalart #drawing #sketch #pencildrawing #doodle #portrait #animalportrait #animals #animalart #anatomy #animalanatomy #wildlife #photoshop #naturalhistory #naturalhistoryillustration #naturalhistoryart https://www.instagram.com/p/B_3xnQvl7TN/?igshid=i475y1bqkldt

Fleshed out the “chest-sliding” Spinosaurus idea I’ve been playing around for a few years now. Last week’s news made me want to return to the idea. I added a dead sauropod that got stuck in the mud that the Spinosaurus is going to feed on. In order to avoid the same fate, he’s spreading out his weight over the muddy surface, similar to the belly-sliding crocodiles around him. I’m in favor of Spinosaurus being a biped on land, this is just a hypothetical method of locomotion for certain conditions. The idea came about when I saw a video of someone feeding an American crocodile on a muddy bank. The man just kept sinking up to his hips in the mud, while the much larger crocodile had no issues maneuvering on the bank thanks to its weight dispersion on the mud. #spinosaurus #spinosaurid #jobaria #sauropod #spinosaur #crocodile #crocodillian #titanosaur #dinosaur #dinosaurart #paleoart #paleontology #paleobiology #art #traditionalart #drawing #sketch #doodle #animals #animalart #animalanatomy #anatomy #wildlifeart #wildlife #naturalhistory #naturalhistoryillustration #naturalhistoryart https://www.instagram.com/p/B_yMqDYFrgH/?igshid=105z5yjalpmgr

Just worked out a sketch for an idea I’ve been playing around with for a few years now. We have a Dakotaraptor looking to take out a wayward Tyrannosaurus chick. #dakotaraptor #dromaeosaur #dromaeosaurid #raptor #velociraptor #deinonychus #tyrannosaurus #tyrannosaurusrex #dinosaur #dinosaurart #paleoart #paleontology #paleobiology #art #traditionalart #drawing #sketch #pencildrawing #doodle #portrait #animalportrait #animals #animalart #anatomy #animalanatomy #wildlife #photoshop #naturalhistory #naturalhistoryillustration #naturalhistoryart https://www.instagram.com/p/B_mWWPLFPtq/?igshid=1a2v9bq9m6qwu

I started this last week only got around to fleshing it out just now. What are stegosaurs but fat camptosaurs trying to be spiky peacocks? #stegosaurs #stegosaurusstenops #stegosaur #stegosaurid #dinosaur #dinosaurart #paleoart #paleontology #paleobiology #art #traditionalart #drawing #sketch #pencildrawing #doodle #portrait #animalportrait #animals #animalart #anatomy #animalanatomy #wildlife #photoshop #naturalhistory #naturalhistoryillustration #naturalhistoryart https://www.instagram.com/p/B_hKyEolanV/?igshid=10djk4cv11ctk

Just transferred the sketch onto a fresh sheet of illustration board. #tyrannosaurus #tyrannosaurusrex #tyrannosaurid #tyrannosaur #triceratops #ceratopsian #dinosaur #dinosaurart #paleoart #paleontology #paleobiology #art #traditionalart #drawing #sketch #pencildrawing #doodle #portrait #animalportrait #animals #animalart #anatomy #animalanatomy #wildlife #photoshop #naturalhistory #naturalhistoryillustration #naturalhistoryart https://www.instagram.com/p/B_cA7yfF4dk/?igshid=wfvksgcfn87n
