DINOSAURS
I picked up an interesting bargain book at Barnes & Noble about a year ago whose purpose is to help kids draw dinosaurs. The book was $6.98, Title is How to Draw Dinosaurs, and it is illustrated by Georgene Griffin. The Publisher is kids books, inc., Chicago. A quick Google search will turn up lots of hits on this book title.
I tried my hand at doing a Oviraptor in 3D using GollyGee Blocks®. Do you suppose the Oviraptor would have done well with egg beaters? OK - Bad joke!
The basic drawing philosophy the illustrator suggests is using ovals. The only ones I couldn't do were the free-form ovals. GollyGee Blocks® lets you stretch in two directions, scale and do move manipulations. The only part I had a real problem with was the long tail. I just couldn't make it look continuous...but then again, I didn't spend much time on this rendition either.
How about a project book of 3D dinosaurs with associated researched material for a science class? Maybe I'll try some others now and then.
