Hello ya'll! It's been over 20 years since I picked up a pencil to draw anything until now. I'm a creative person by trade and avid fossil collector but don’t have a whole lot of knowledge about dinosaur anatomy? I always wanted to be a paleo artist to some degree, so here is my very first attempt to do a large scale drawing which is also a first of a T-rex! The reading glasses on the sketch will give you idea on scale. Go easy on me fellas, I've learned much from the challenge of this one and still have a ways to go! It may be my first but it won't be my last! When completed I will post it..

We are especially fond of dinosaurs found on our home turf (the UK specifically the Isle Of Wight). So he wanted to see Eotyrannus recreated and this is the first illustration that I came too, there is a lack of Eotyrannus material, but I got the privilege of handling the real material that's kept safely under lock and key (thank god
