Description As a child, I had an almost unhealthy obsession with dinosaurs which I had almost forgotton till I was sitting watching all three jurassic park films in a row the other day, and all of a sudden it came back to me. I have not drawn a dinosaur since I was around 12 or so! So immediately out came the sketchbook and I discovered to my delight, it was still all good fun. This happy looking chap was a twenty minute sketch, based very loosely on a skeleton I found online. I was originally just going to throw some rough shadows down but ended up doing a bit more with the colour - hence the slightly dirty lines! But I am back loving dinosaurs and plan on doing more in the near future! I have a raptor sketch that is now begging for some colour.

Very unique perspective on the look and anatomy of the Iguanadon.

I also love dinosaurs!

Outstanding job! don't worry about clean lines on illustrations like these, it adds character to the piece as a whole. Lovely level of detail on the wrinkles in the skin and from my experience with these guys in class, your musculature is spot on. You have a very good eye.

I've been browsing your gallery, and I have to say you have a very interesting style, overall I think your works that are less primary and/or saturated in overall color are your best. Keep developing that style!

Oh, this is cool! Here's another who had the same kind of obsession as a kid. One suggestion would be to change the positioning of the feet a bit - the left front leg and the right back leg are on the same line, making the pose look awkward, as if he's about to fall over. Otherwise, good proportions, great colour choices, lovely shading and neat background!

Iguanadon! Oh, I love you for doing this. It looks marvellous, and I really like what you did with the colouring and lines alltogether. You have a good eye for colours, and that fact combined with the lovely concept and good rendering tells to me that I should favourite it and come back to adore your stuff again.
