Obviously I know that not all paleoart is done via drawing, so please understand that "drawing" is synonymous with all mediums. Anyway, what do you find hardest to draw? For me, it's putting ears on Machairodonts, and the entirety of Dromaeosauridae... |

I can never get Ceratopsian faces right... Also I've never drawn an Anomalocarid or Drepanosaur that I'm happy with, though they're not particularly hard. |

It's always hands and feet for me no matter what the critter. Especially ceratopsians with their weird useless toes. |

I definitely get all the above; a lot with me I can draw an animal just fine but am never actually happy with it. I find ceratopsian bodies easy, but their faces, certainly side profile... ouch. Sauropods are oddly incredibly hard to draw now that I think about it! |

Ceratopsian heads are the hardest things for me, theropod hands and arms aren't my strong suit either |

Fur and feather textures are the death of me. And not really a hard "thing" to draw but stylistically I'm unhappy with how my attempts at realistic art look. |

Mammal heads have always been difficult for me, especially on carnivores, and especially especially when I'm trying to draw the face straight on. |

I'm on the ceratopsians head train aswell. Also short-legged spino, for some reason I never end up satisfied the way it turns out. |

^ specifically talking fat sauropods and the entirety of Maniraptora, in my experience. |

The hands/arms are the hardest for me, and I've tried so many times to do dynamic posing but it's so difficult and never looks right lol. I'd much rather stick to headshots for now. Full-body stuff makes me want to punch the floor, even if the majority of the body isn't that difficult. It's just those darn limbs. That and any herbivore stuff. I drew a stegosaurus for someone but it took me about 800% more time than a theropod does. I drew this little mess (it's got a couple dinos) the other day and I feel that I do much better with the headshots than full-body stuff like this, especially when I'm drawing from memory/my imagination as in the case of the scribble page. There's still plenty of inaccuracies when I draw the headshots, but I like them a heck of a lot more, especially since I don't have to draw arms. Oof. |
