Description
In 2001-2002, I was working on a series of dinosaur skeletal drawings for a field course that was in the works. The trip ran once and these drawings have been sitting around on a cd ever since. So now I'm putting them in my DA portfolio since they're doing no one any good in my sotrage devices.As all young artists did in the '90s and beyond, I learned about technical drawing of dinosaur skeletons from Gregory Paul, who learned from Bob Bakker, who got the idea for black outlines around skeletons from Charles Knight and others. I tried to avoid swiping Paul's poses and experimented with a variety of other stances. These drawings are fairly crude now that I look back on them, but they helped me learn a LOT about skeletal anatomy, scientific illustration, and how much I dread the errant stroke of a black pen.

Those are some nice skeletals! Saurophaganax is more complete than I had originally thought!

Thanks very much. Yes, I was impressed how much is actually known from Saurophaganax. Apparently even more material is available, but this is all I was able to find figures for back about 12 years or so ago.

The original is a full size poster and wasn't meant to be readable at screen resolution. I'll be updating this with screen-size lettering and more accurate skeletals.

It's kinda hard to see what the dinosaurs' names are. Can you tell me which species you featured?

Coelurus, Stokesosaurus, Allosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Torvosaurus, and Saurophaganax are the theropods. Seismosaurus, Supersaurus, Diplodocus, and Apatosaurus are the sauropods. I ran out of time before I got to the other sauropods and ornithischians and never got around to finishing them. Some day I will though.

I'm assuming the theropod order goes Saurophaganax > Allosaurus > Torvosaurus > Ceretosaurus > ??? > Stokesosaurus > Coelurus, but there's one more theropod that you missed.

Right. Forgot Elaphrosaurus. Turned out that's not even known from the Morrison.
