LOVE this it’s an awsome T Rex!!
Lynnette Shelley replied
Thanks Patricia. I had aborted another attempt at one (this is the second one), because I couldn’t get it right, and I felt like I was overly complicating things. This one is more bold-looking, which is fitting.

Love it!! I love the way you use oil pastels in your work, I have been playing with them recently and finding them a very enjoyable medium to use!
Lynnette Shelley replied
aren’t they fun? I have been using the colored pencils for the shading detailing, but I like using the oil pastels for the bigger areas of color. they are so vibrant

OMG! You are awesome! This is the best one yet for reasons I do not yet understand. Bang a gong get it on! Love it love it love it!!!!! Rhino
Lynnette Shelley replied
lol. thanks Rhino. I was having a hard time with this at first. Must have made five sketches, and started on one and then scrapped it, then did this one.

He’s tremendous! That look in his eye ! Yet he almost looks like he is tip-toeing up on something or someone !
Lynnette Shelley replied
ha ha. I don’t know how well a T-rex could stealthily tiptoe up to someone, but how scary would that be?? :O
