The Summer camp I work at is finally doing a dinosaur themed week! In my excitement, I started preparing about a month early. Here is the skull of an Elasmosaurus skeleton I plan to hang in a public area.
Here is a Dilophosaurus. It was my first time using oil pastels, and I was very pleased to discover how versatile and forgiving a medium they are.
It might also be called my first honest-to-goodness life restoration, as I used a reference photo. I got to meet my favorite dinosaur in New York last July. I know an expert like Darren Naish could spend a few minutes picking apart my reconstruction on a few points (like the way I "shrinkwrapped" its skin to its skull), but I am very happy with how this one turned out.
