Since I skipped Inktober I decided to try out something I saw on someone else’s blog: “Dinovember.”
Good excuse to draw dinosaurs. Seventh is Citipati. It’s a type of oviraptorid, and is the one most commonly pictured when people talk about “oviraptor” because there are a lot of preserved skeletons. I made him really colorful and I decided that he would use rocks to smash open the tougher shells that his beak couldn’t get through.
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 And it was interesting sorting through all sorts of outdated paleoart for the more modern interpretations.
