Lesson 3 – How to Draw a Dinosaur
Most people don’t know this but dinosaur’s were terrific artists. The problem was that they didn’t use materials that lasted very long so hardly anyone knows. If you ask a paleontologist (someone who studies fossils) they will tell you that dinosaurs were excellent at sand castle building, interpretive dance, egg decorating and ice sculpting. The ice sculpting of course came at the very end of the dinosaur age which goes without saying.
Dinosaurs were live in the moment kind of creatures. They didn’t spend time worrying about weather their art would last they were more interested in the art itself. Dinosaurs were not only good artists but appreciated good art as well which is why if a dinosaur saw you drawing him he’d most likely be very proud.
