What’s this? Another revision to my take on Pteranodon? Why yes it is!

I’ve been practicing drawing pterosaurs a lot lately! I’m still struggling with the wings specifically but I think I’m getting closer and closer to a style I have a real fondness for!

I want them to be as plausible as possible. This image, based on a Mark Witton skeletal (one that can be found here twitter.com/markwitton/status/… ) shows a male (the large one with the long, brightly colored crest) and a female (the smaller one with the short, black crest) launching.

Heavily inspired by modern birds that display similar dimorphism, I gave the male a more vibrant palette, with reddish brown fur, while the female is a regular shade of brown and has some cryptic coloration going on. They also both have little black “masks” over their eyes. Why? Honestly just cause I felt like it lol.

I hope y’all enjoy!
