Ceratosaurus Speedpaint

Paleoart process for my overambitious study of the Ceratosaurus mount at the Utah Museum of Natural History. References apart from the skeletal mount include lots of nature photos and paleoart life reconstructions.

Heck yeah you did Ceratosaurus!!! They're my favorite dinosaur and your paleoart reconstruction of it is so awesome! The small details are really cool to watch as you draw them imo since it shows how much thought and effort you put into these. Also the way that the colors arent bland, yet still give plenty of life to the animal is another thing I really love about this! Amazing work!!!

[@EmilySteppPaleoart]

Thank you! I definitely tried to step away from just making it a desaturated blue like I tend to love to do lol.

[@riamus7258]

The quality of your art is awesome. This is the style I strive for.

[@paleoartstudios783]

Awesome work! I love how you use anatomy to reconstruct your Dinosaurs from the skeleton all the way to the skin.

[@Mr.WillyWonker]

I love how you use real reptile and avian feet to draw the tarsel scutes! Great peice!

[@EmilySteppPaleoart]

Thank you!

I need to draw Ceratosaurus someday. It's Robert Bakker's favorite dinosaur.

[@EmilySteppPaleoart]

It's right up there with my favorites, which are always shifting. I love an underdog with cool crests.

[@paleobeastent]

These speedpaints are so cool!

[@EmilySteppPaleoart]

Thank you! I'm glad people enjoy them, makes the hit in performance while recording feel worth it lol

YOU HAVE A RUclips CHANNEL!?!? THIS IS FUCKING SICK!

[@EmilySteppPaleoart]

I do, and need to upload more often lol

[@markhewett9307]

Is there any sort of "easy way" do do the trees and stuff in the background, because I have just started getting into digital art and I find it pretty hard to do the backdrops.

[@EmilySteppPaleoart]

It doesn't necessarily teach you much, but what I do is take photos and photobash them in and then blur it and paint over. You can see it best in this one - ruclips.net/video/oySSrfSD0lw/видео.html

[@phillipw6374]

What software do you use to draw with?

[@EmilySteppPaleoart]

This one was in Photoshop CC

[@chi11y]

How do you find good anatomy references? Very late compared to the video lol
