Here is a scanned pic of my pencil drawing of a Deinonychus. I don't copy of anything except what I have built over the years in my mind. I am aware the head is slightly larger compared to the body but when you try to draw dinosaurs big, the curves make it very hard to stay proportionate and in the same shape.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm refining this drawing and will post the finished work here soon, tomorrow hopefully. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Comments are always welcome, thanks!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enjoy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: Here is the final completed version, the one above is just the basic sketch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What do you think now?

very nice! - i thonk you should airbrush it on photoshop

Don't worry, lol, this version is just a sketch in which I erase almost all lines and then draw the real deal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for comments.

definatly worth colouring in with the olde airbrushes, also i like the way the head comes forward, nice touch

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

gw and i look forward to the next verion :wink:

I totally agree, that is an awesome drawing.

Very good drawing, You don't mind if I nab it and play do you?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well I've sorta done it already but it is your drawing :P

I never work with computer programs to draw, all pencil by hand, I'm halfway done with the final version, and it will blow this measly sketch away.

Nice, but the way one of the toes on the feet sticks up kind of looks unnatural, but maybe that is just me. Really good overall though.

6-27-04?

lol that date on the drawing is wrong, i looked at a digital clock at midnight, saw "07" instead of "01", realized after I posted here lol

i just noticed a tiny lil freehand sketch top left, quality lol

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

thought id point it out

really nice drawing! :D

 

 

 

U got a tallent! :wink:

dang you guys notice everything lol, thats just how I plan the position and view of a dinosaur before drawing it for real, and get a real rough view of proportions and appearance, like a preview

Very nice, but I would beef up the hands a little - they look a bit withered and weak (unless that's intended, like a T-Rex's?)

yeah hands are the hardests to draw, but after many tries at different positions/sizes, that was the best one

It's rubbish! :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But really, better than I can do :wink:

HAHA! :P Bet you could do better if you tried :D

That would require me downloading photoshop.. Anyway, seeing the original, I think you did very good, I just think it needs some color.. :wink:

Very nice :P Maybe you can teach me to use your PS now? :)

Please no editing or stuff like that, I'm gonna post my final hand made version, a machine just can't beat the hand lol.

Chris, if you color in sketches, you should clean up the lines more.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Great job on the final version
