How do do you do such detailed feathers(protofeathers).

Not sure if you're serious about that question... but just use tiny strokes, like you want to draw fur or short hair.

Love the feathers, Personally, I believe that all dinosaur groups would have some kind of feather like stucture.

With their plumage these spinosaurids look so... dunno... "cute" ^^
Very nice, though

I'm very curious to know why you're pluming your spinosaurids. I can't say I agree with it, but it is a very interesting take on them!

Besides Irritator (who has more protofeathers) and Spinosaurus (who has no feathers) I only plumaged the neck-region. This plumage is just imagination.
But I think there are good reasons why they could have it: Till today there speaks nothing against protofeathering in basal Theropoda or even Saurischia when we look to Concavenator who was as wide away from the Maniraptorians as the Spinosauridae.
Also as analogs to modern bears (sure, bears are smaller than some of them, but I'm not sure with the weight) and all piscivorous birds a furry head and neck has no disadvantages for fishing. And there are also the lions I call into play. We can see on male lions a thick mane, wich is not only for attraction but rather protect the neck and throat from punches and scratches - and now imagine what nasty violations they could've made with those claws and the very thin spinosaurid-neck without a mane (also useful for protection against other dinosaurs - oh my, I must think of those vintage thumb-killing Iguanodots ).

For a while, I was actually leaning towards a "basal protofeathering" in my speculative paleoart as well. But more recently I've backed out of that, though some remnants still exist in my gallery such as my protofeathered dilophosaurids.
