Ben Thiel “Dinosaur Drawing”

9x12,” Colored pencil, 2020

My idea was to draw a t.rex for my drawing. I got the idea from one of my drawings that I drew at the beginning of the year. I love dinosaurs and I thought why not use one for a drawing.

I used a pencil to draw the outlines, I used a sharpie to trace the outlines, and I used colored pencils to color in everything.

I want people to know how powerful dinosaurs once were and how they ruled the Earth. I want my audience to think about what it would be like if dinosaurs were still around. The volcano in the background is a symbol of what could have killed them.

The coloring part was the most difficult part because there was a lot of space to color. I stayed focused on what I was doing. I probably would add some more details to show the world of dinosaurs.

I believe it’s realistic from the time of the dinosaurus. I really enjoy drawing both living and extinct animals. I like how the colors came together especially because the coloring took so long.
