Hello everyone.  I'm new to the forum.  I thought I'd submit some of my drawings.  I try to be as anatomically correct as my skill and laziness allow.  Please leave feedback.  I was particularly curious about the triceratops and rex. 
-I've been seeing a lot of ceratopsians with spikes or spines, is this a recent discovery?
-For rex, is the dewclaw on the inside or outside (is that medial or lateral?) of the foot.
-What about feathers? Is there any evidence of crests on theropods, was there a pattern to the feathering or just all over?
- Do all therpods have dewclaws?

Not bad, I especially like the Spinosaurus head in the second drawing you posted. I notice some proportional/anatomical issues on some of them though. Like that last raptor you posted (which should be fully feathered like a bird) the pubis bone should be between the legs, not at the base of the tail. I suggest referring to some skeletal drawings as reference. Check out Scott Hartmans page for those. http://www.skeletaldrawing.com/

Here is an example. Notice where the pubis is in relation to the legs and tail. This is Deinonychus.

Nice work. To answer one of your questions the 'dewclaw', actually the hallux, is on the inside. It is the first digit of the foot, homologous to our big toe  :)

Cool, I thought it was inside.  Thanks for that website!
