Drawing with Dinosaurs

Decided to have a spur of the moment trip to the Natural History Museum to finally check-out the new dino exhibit. It has only been on my radar for the past several months:

Bonus Ground Sloth! He was in a different hall then the rest, but because I find them so fascinating, I had to stop and sketch him.

On another note, the arm poses on the actual Carnotaurus skeleton are pretty wonky, seems like an evolutionary step backwards. At least t-rex's tiny arms make a little more sense on the whole functionality scale.


The way this ended up being drawn...it looks like these two are having a casual conversation rather then a life or death hunt. "OH GUUURL! WHO DID YOUR NAILS???" This was also a lesson in how not to layout my drawing so it wouldn't run off the page....fail.

I was heading out to run some errands this morning and en route met a new neighbor!

He was really proud he had made it from the apartment's laundry facility without dropping anything and in his excitement, shared this news with me(with the biggest 3-toothed grin he could muster). I wasn't so much impressed by that accomplishment as I was by his poncho/bare feet look. I'm sure I'll be seeing him again on his next trip....I didn't immediately spy anymore ponchos in his tower of laundry, but I bet they were buried in there somewhere.
