I made the mistake of working on a heavily textured paper. I tried to ammend this digitally, not sure if I did right.
As usual, feedback is always appreciated
. I think P. cyrtocristatus has a more pronounced curve in the crest.

So the long crest is the male & the short crest is the female, right?Β Β

That's one theory, others say they are different subspecies. I think they are different subspecies too, the other bones in the skull are also quite different just for sexual dimorphism but I'm no expert, nature has weird examples of everything, and I haven't read anything about the topic in a long time so maybe they've figured it out and I never heard the news.

Wow...so the slide hasn't been put up yet by the PechaKucha people but good lord the difference in sizes is quite telling. Are these to scale? How large would a full P. tubicen be exactly?Β

I am an illustrator, not a dinosaur expert... so I can't give you a proper answer. The heads on the illustration show relative sizes between the heads of the species, or at least that is what I tried to do. But I can't tell how long would P.tubicen be, since as far as I know there was never a full specimen found (I believe we only have skull remains from P. tubicen). P. walkeri is estimated at 10 metres, give or take; P. tubicen would be somewhat larger. If you do find out about a good source of information for this, feel free to let me know. Good luck with your slides!

The P. Tubicen skull was a little over six feel long from the tip of its snout to the end of it's crest while the P. Walkeri was just a little over five feet. The P. Walkeri was also known to be 31/32 ft. Long while the P. Tubicen was known to be 32/35 ft. So the scale of the image may be off a tad bit it's not too shabby.

35 feet eh...? Not too shabby at all...not at all...

Actually the crest of P. cyrtocristatus always had a pronounced curve to its crest, but so far all I know is that the females show this more, so I don't know really if it is shown in males, but the research says otherwise.
This is pretty well amazing too! Great job capturing the detail also this will help me in my case on the Parasaurolophus featured in Jurassic World.

Thanks! Glad to know it helps someone, too

Your Welcome! Actually it is to confirm what species Jurassic World's Parasaurolophus is. You see this Parasaurolophus is larger than the average Parasaur species and has a very distinctive looking crest and much robust body, so yeah it is like personal research.
Thanks a million for the permission I will gladly use them whenever. Β And also thanks for helping me with my cause this illustration really did provide some back up! ~ Β

No worries! Yes that looks like P. tubicen enough to me. Enjoy!

Yeah that is what I exactly thought the moment I looked at it, originally I was going to call Parasaurolophus. gigas, but the crest just stuck out. Thank you again I sure will use your picture when the time is necessary ~ Β

I kind of like the texture showing through. It reminds me of those old natural history works where scientists (naturalists, whatever lol) included sketches along side their written observations.

Thanks! I often get from people that my works have a retro/old school feel, and I am not complaining

Nice work, I don't think the problem you have faced with your paper are visible.
Gouache is reminding me horrible nightmares, I used gouache at school and it was just terrible.
π: 0 β©: 1
haha! Thanks! I still see like a squarish grid all over these guys, it is more visible on the computer than on the paper itself.
I used to use some kind of cheap gouache too, in elementary school, and I also hated it. It was a long journey experimenting with other media until I realized how versatile gouache really is. Still not easy, it does give me headaches every now and then but hey, I'm relatively new to this!

Cheap art supply at school is simply terrible, I can remember how much I hated colours at school because it was impossible to make something clean, whatever it was paint or colour pencil or marker.
Many years later I came back to colour pencil but with a high grade brand and good paper, just to see if it really makes the difference. The result was clear: good art supply makes a huge difference. Perhaps it's not necessary to go for highest quality, but for sure all supply sell for conventional schoolΒ hasΒ toΒ be avoid like plague and ebola.
When I will get enough room for traditional art perhaps I will come back to gouache. But for that I must live elsewhere

Hahaha, yes, I have to agree with that!
