Sauropodomorph drawings
Last year I did two works with sauropodomorphs in a black ballpoint pen (mostly).
The "prosauropod" Riojasaurus incertus is menacingly approaching two young coelophysoids Powellvenator podocitus, who are in a hurry to get out of the way of a large dinosaur. Late Triassic (Norian) of the Los Colorados formation, Argentina. In this work, I decided to try another type of texture with a ballpoint pen, hatching, in a reptile with small scales. In the process, I had to face difficulties and resort to white gouache for corrections (however, as usual), but in the end it turned out well. :)
Portrait of the titanosaur Sarmientosaurus musacchioi from the Late Cretaceous of Argentina. I started sketching this portrait many months ago before completion, but moved on to textures and shadows only in November. According to the idea, there should have been a dark background around the dinosaur, and I made it with a ballpoint pen, but the result did not satisfy me either live or scanned, so I decided to paint over it with a gel ink pen. It turned out to be a very good contrast.
