Good afternoon, everyone! Glad to see you here. This place shall be the home of some of my drawings, paintings, sketches, that are not necessarily related to the Land Before Time franchise. Constructive criticism is always welcome! My drawings will be posted as replies to this topic.

Here's the fist one I'd like to share, titled 'Distant'.

Awesome!
Well, since this one also includes unidentified dino, like in your other drawings... You could post them in your previous thread.

First of all, thank you very much!

Secondly, I've been thinking about creating a thread for my other artworks for a long time, so I finally decided to go for it!

What kind of pencils(?) do you use to make these beauties? (didn't I ask before already?

)

I use mostly a mechanical pencil with 2B leads, 2B, 4B and 8B pencils for shading, usually.

(had some time during office hours, so figured I would stop by)

Very nice!

The roughened appearance of the dinosaur's feathers is complimented by the jagged trees and light foliage in the background, hinting at a landscape that is simultaneously sparse and bustling with hidden dangers. Though I find myself drawn to the dinosaur's focus on something unseen in the distance. Is he the "threat" looking upon potential prey? ...or is he the prey? The best art does exactly what this drawing does, and leaves it to the observer's imagination.

"Distant", as all of your works, looks really awesome! I truly love the atmosphere in your pictures as the lighting and the rugged landscape comboed with the very gloomy colors really works here once again. As for the raptor itself, his or her brief glance at the moon creates a mysterious feeling to the whole scene and I can't help but love the way you manage to make the feathers look so amazing.

However, I think that making the eye a bit more detailed would have made the raptor's longing or predatory look more effective. It's good as it is but this is pretty much the only thing that caught my critical eye here! It's great to see more art from you after a while.

As for the skull, it also looks pretty cool! The details in the right part of the picture make the bones look almost three-dimensional, which is quite impressive. Great job again!

Thanks, everyone! And thank you Sovereign for your review as well!

I very much like the way you draw your backgrounds, especially the night ones, due in large part how effective you are with your shading. Your detail with the scales and feathers are great as always.

The skull looks awesome as well. I don't know a lot about actual anatomy but there is a good amount of detail that was put in.

Great job with both of these. Looking forward to seeing more!

Quick little drawing from memory.

Epic!

I'm impressed you drew it out of your memory!

I like your style!

Very nice!

Please forgive me, but as it is April Fool's Day, I couldn't help but imagine the dinosaur saying "Whasss Uppp!" with that expression.

That humorous mental image aside, I love how the details work together in this image to convey action in the dinosaur's expression. One can tell that he has been suddenly roused by something - perhaps a threat or perhaps food.

Or perhaps he simply saw Chomper and was asking him "Whasss Uppp!"

As I told on discord already... you NULLED it lol

Sovereign · **Reply #19 on:** April 02, 2018, 09:24:35 AM

Looks pretty cool as usual.

The expression is well done and the overall look of the drawing is once again spot on. It may not be as impactful as some of your other works due to the lack of background but the picture itself is really nice. Good job!
