These are some of my trilobite drawings, Some of these are from when I was eight. And yes I know, the Cryptolithus feeding method is outdated and the Hypodicranotus species name is actually striatulus.

Hi everyone, just wanted to hop on the Paleoart side of the forum and post one of my favorite pieces I've done in the last year. I gave it the apt title of "Unreferenced Hadrosauridae" as I began drawing the head of a random hadrosaur, not of any particular genus, with a charcoal pencil and began filling it in with scales. I would later submit the drawing to be displayed in the student art gallery, which was a cool first. Here it is after I finished the scaling, pre color. Add some color, red for the flashy bits, earth tones for camouflage.

Figured it was probably high time that I started sharing some of the Paleoart exploits that I have been doing over the past several months. I’m a professional landscape painter, and I dabble in paleoart when I can. I do a lot of ceramics and I do bronze pours when I am able to. First off, I have been working on a sculpture of Acrocanthosaurus in iron and bronze. The process involved me making the sculptures in wax, and then making a ceramic shell around them. They were then superheated to melt the wax, and I assisted in pouring the molten metal into the molds. The base, tree, and small raptor are in bronze, as iron was too brittle to use on delicate details. The Acrocanthosaurus is in iron that I helped to pour when it was over 2500°F/1400°C. The wax version early on in the process. I’m on the left in the first photo and on the right in the second. The Acrocanthosaurus mold prior to being divested of the ceramic shell And after! Still attached to the vents and cup that was used to dispel air during the pour. after the extra stuff had been cut off, prior to me doing lots and lots of grinding.

Hey everyone, didnt know there was a thread for drawings lol how cool. Ive always enjoyed drawing, but found that they always come out better when done out of procrastination lol. Anywho, this rex was done today and thought Id share it. It was inspired by the JP rex, although the scales were just too time consuming to draw as I had to go back to studying, so just replaced some of the scales with shading haha. Thanks for looking!

I finally got back into the mood for drawing after a couple of month's respite. This time I chose my Campanile giganteum to try to duplicate. Here's the result : And here's a photo of the original.

Reconstructive skeletal drawing- perspective foreshortening
Mahnmut posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Hello dear fellow forum members, I need some advice. Until now, I have built my models mostly trying to follow the reconstructions others have made, often in form of profile-view skeletal drawings. At the moment I am trying to build a model of Helveticosaurus, which is known from a rather complete, but heavily crushed skeleton. The one Skeletal reconstruction I can find online comes from a source that I do not trust (the one calling itself heretic), so I try to start from the fossil. In that online drawing, the lumbar ribs are showing a strong curvature of about 90 degrees, which is definitely there in the fossil. But I do not believe that all of this curvature would have been visible in the lateral view. Below is my take starting from Kuhn-Schnyders drawing of the fossil itself: http://www.thefossilforum.com/uploads/monthly_2021_03/54696752_HelveticosaurusafterKuhn-Schnyder1974.jpg.ce995add17ae5d89b765a7ca17a337a9.jpg Concerning the reconstruction of Spinosaurus it has been discussed intensely if it is legitimate to show the leg bones as perspecive- foreshortened, or if they should be shown in their full length as if lying flat on the paper. Concerning ribs my impression was that skeletal drawings usually show what the anatomically connected ribcage would have looked like from the side. Any advice would be much appreciated. Best regards, J- 11 replies

Decided I would make a thread with my drawings, recently I decided to draw trilobites that are not necessarily proportional and I didn’t spend too much time on these just wanted them to be life size and recognizable, so far I have 19, I took ideas from @Kane trilobite drawings and @rew trilobite collection. I will add to this thread as I draw more fossils not only trilobites. You may not be able to read the labels partly from camera quality and mostly from my handwriting.

Has anyone got any advice on drawing ammonites accurately? It is often the ribs which identify an ammonite, so they are very important to get right and while I my observational skills are fairly good, I find it hard to believe people like Ernst Haeckle relied purely on observation. I don't strive for Haeckle's realism as I draw in a more sketchy manner, but I do strive for accuracy all the same. Is there a sort of formula to plot ammonite ribs? Thanks!

Drew this today. Would like to show you all. Used the Japanese Sumi e technique. It's a trilobite. What do you think? Jared

After sharing a japanese style sumi e drawing of a Phareodus testis, and getting a lot of great feedback, I decided to draw more fossils. This time I am drawing a Diplomystus dentatus. Picture of the fossil I am going off of is attached. I'll post a picture of the drawing when it's done. Working on it now. Jared

Hi I have been working on this. A drawing of a Xenoceratops scaring away a Thanatotherises that wondered into its nesting grounds to find cover from the rain. I am still working on it and will post the finished drawing later. I also find after colouring the drawing that you loose a lot of the detail. Enjoy!!

As I've posted a lot of trilobite drawings here already, I thought it would be an interesting challenge to take up @Doctor Mud's suggestion to draw a Tumido. I've never drawn a crab before, so this was unfamiliar terrain for me. If I needed the additional challenge, I did this with a sprained thumb. After consulting a few resources, I laid it out and rendered it as usual with pencil. Time: ~12 hours Materials: Pencils (HB, H, some 3B), blending stumps, standard sized white paper.
