Yutyrannus's Prehistoric Art

[Yutyrannus]

   I love prehistoric life and like drawing it. I decided to start this thread to post my drawings

First, Yutyrannus Hauli (sorry, I couldn't get the picture up yet. But will try to post it as soon as possible).

Yutyrannus Hauli.

[ZoPteryx]

Nice work!  I really like the colors!

Nice work!  I really like the colors!

Thanks. My next drawing will be a Velociraptor.

[Yutyrannus]

I decided not to make the velociraptor, but soon I should be able to post some pictures I've been working on .

[Gryphoceratops]

Looks really nice so far.  I love the detail you put into the feet especially.  Would it be alright if I gave you some constructive criticism though with regards to the anatomy?  I think the belly and the torso in general should be much deeper.  Its something I needed to learn when I drew theropods too.   

[Yutyrannus]

Actually, I thought it was a little too slim myself.
WIP of Utahraptor Ostromaysorum, the final picture has feathers but for now he is bald.

your hunting ceratosaurus is very interesting. I like it.

Finished drawing of Utahraptor.

Is this better?

Yes!

Here is the finished and revised Utahraptor pouncing on Falcarius drawing. It took 4 hours 11 minutes to complete.
And here is the finished drwaing of Hatzegopteryx.

[ZoPteryx]

Nice work Yutyranns, especially on that Hatzegopteryx!  I find perched pterosaurs to be one of the more difficult things to draw.

Me too. I actually started it about a month ago but gave up because I couldn't figure out how to fold the wings .

Also I didn't note this before so I will here. The story of what is happening in the drawing. It is all happening on a platoe (I definatly spelled that wrong). Foreground: A massive Hatzegopteryx has landed and stolen a Magyarosaurus calf. It is followed by the Magyarosaur's not exactly happy mother. Background: A pair of Telmatosaurus drink from a small watering hole and are unknowingly stalked by a Balur hiding in a cluster of plants. Note: Since I had to draw it so tiny, about 1 in. long, the Balaur did not turn out too well, especially the feathers. Also my next drawing will feature a Velociraptor using it's killing talons, I prefer to call them by this name , to pin down a Khaan. I used skeletals by Scott Hartman to help draw both of them.

[Yutyrannus]

I have finished both velociraptor vs. khaan and swimming liopleurodon drawings. Soon I should be able to post these as well as a drawing for the speculative dinosaur project .

[DinoLord]

Very good drawings, interesting use of color. However, in dromaeosaurs the feathers started on the second finger (as you have done correctly) but got shorter as they went up the arm. So the feathers at the hands would be the longest and the feathers nearest the base of the arm the shortest.

I didn't know that about the feathers soo thanks for pointing it out.

[Gryphoceratops]

You are def going in the right direction with your work but the proportions on some of your dinos like the velociraptor are off.  I recommend getting a source with good skeletal illustrations like the Princeton Field Guide to Dinosaurs by Greg Paul to use for a reference.
