Draft sketches and new species

Hey, this is a page just to show draft sketches and behind the scenes of artworks I’ve been working on. (The finished projects are in the “Projects” dropdown – see the very top of the page).

I will be continuously adding to this page. CHECK BACK OFTEN TO SEE NEWLY DISCOVERED SPECIES OF DINOSAURS AS I WILL BE POSTING THE DRAFT SKETCHES HERE, AS SPECIES ARE DISCOVERED AND/OR DESCRIBED BY THE SCIENTISTS IN THE FIELD!!! 

Draft sketch of Ojoraptorsaurus, 2019.

Dineobellator draft sketch, mid 2020. This animal was recently discovered, and described in 2020. 

2023

I jokingly call this small drawing “the ecstasy of gold” after the song written by Metallica and Michael Kamen for the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. It’s a Smaug-style dragon, hoarding gold. 2023, 3H to 6B pencil on paper.
