It's only hackneyed old T. rex, I'm afraid; but as it's been years since I've drawn any dinosaurs, it seemed sensible to me to start back with something 'easy'. I tried to be resolute in drawing it with its mouth closed, but I gave in eventually. Incidentally, the roaring head, as the last to be drawn, is probably my own favourite of the studies because I'd loosened up much more by then. The others were drawn in a state of slight nervous tension.

Its body could do with being slightly larger and longer. It was a tricky bit of foreshortening which I didn't quite manage convincingly. The teeth are also inaccurate: there are too many. I entirely neglected to count them as I was drawing, and by the time I'd realised, it was too late. Most important of all: it is lacking jaw muscle. Here's hoping future attempts will be better.

I love your style with dinosaurs, how you draw all the folds and such...

~Poniesr4girlsHLLNO May 3, 2012

Beautiful!! Simply beautiful! BRAVO! Without a doubt one one the best if not the best modern T. Rex reconstruction illustration. My dear friend I take my hat off in respect to your skills.

Thank you so much for your kind comment. This still has many inaccuracies as it was the first dinosaur piece I'd drawn since returning to the genre after many years.

~Poniesr4girlsHLLNO May 8, 2012

wow!Really inaccuracies, and it is still such a master piece? Mmmm like what kind of inaccuracies? Guess my pupils are still dilated from the emotion lol.

I mentioned them in my description.

Ohhh I see, and Indeed it has too many teeth, but hey an honest "mistake". For the part about him/her being larger mmmm that one the focus should be the tail itself more than the body(in most specimens the tail is about 2/3 of the body of the animal), but besides that one can say we are looking at a young adult Rex, and thus is not fully grown yet and or that we are looking at a female and that's why the body is "thinner". And for the jaw muscles yeah, but funny how I didn't noticed it before lol. But still is a beautiful drawing of a beautiful creature that once was the perfect killing machine of its time. By the way out of curiosity, how do you differentiate a female from a male?
