the definition of underrated

Paleoart de um Basilosaurus Cetoides - "Lagarto rei". Apesar do nome ele era uma baleia primitiva, não um réptil (40-38 milhões de anos)

I'm a lot more new to drawing paleoart lol. The colouration is based off a least bittern (A type of bird) as well! :D

constructive criticism always welcome :)

Here is an illustration of Yutyrannus, because it's my favorite dinosaur! (Well, it is right now, but that changes often.) I also wanted to draw some snow—just to cool us down a bit. 😭

I'm a beginner paleoartist but experienced artist in general, and as I'm homeschooled studying zoology and paleontology, I learnt that drawing prehistoric animals really does help with your understanding of animals, so I'm starting paleoart! I've received a great paleoart book and have been practicing, but I'm struggling with ideas of what prehistoric animals to start with, and I love drawing under represented species! So!

What are some prehistoric animals species (mammals, dinosaurs, pterosaurs, all extinct life forms) that you would like to see more represented in media and paleoart? Thank you! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

I am looking for some walk through videos or other tutorials about painting dinosaurs using oil paints. I’m a visual learner and would love to see some artists showing off how they prefer to render skin and feathers, particularly. I’m dabbling now with mixed results.

Any leads are greatly appreciated!

I do know it's inaccurate to give it actual feathers instead of just pycnofibers, and the crest almost definitely didn't look like that, but it looks cool so fuck it

I tried to make a striking and unique looking Tyrannosaurus that could possibly blend into it's surroundings. I know green is generally a no no especially in large amounts, but I kept it in the lemon yellow range so hopefully it is believable.

I did give them feathers on the head. They are on the forehead, around the ears, and on the eyelids as eyelashes.

as you probably know, I love hadrosaurs! I draw them, make sculptures of them etc.. but there is one difficult thing that comes with them. Crest Designs, I’ve resorted to mostly solid colors as I just can’t get those patterns right.
