Since I skipped Inktober I decided to try out something I saw on someone else’s blog: “Dinovember.”
Good excuse to draw dinosaurs. Tenth is Polacanthus. It’s a type of Ankylosaur with a “pelvic shield” on its hips instead of more spikes. It’s also in the group of ankylosaurs that lacks a tail club--but if you look at other members of the group I’m sure you’ll agree they make up for it by adding MORE SPIKES EVERYWHERE ELSE! Ankylosaurs are cool!
Basically I think it’s just supposed to be one dino drawing a day, but I decided to do 10 skeletons and 10 with skin/muscles (referenced from google images) and then one speedpaint. Since I’m not intimately familiar with most dino anatomy the sketches were a huge help for the final piece. And it was interesting sorting through all sorts of outdated paleoart for the more modern interpretations.
