DinApril 2025: The Final Compilation

Hello everyone! I just completed my springtime 30-day dinosaur drawing challenge, DinApril. You can find the prompts here. Enjoy the results!

Sauropodomorph drawings

Last year I did two works with sauropodomorphs in a black ballpoint pen (mostly).

The "prosauropod" Riojasaurus incertus is menacingly approaching two young coelophysoids Powellvenator podocitus, who are in a hurry to get out of the way of a large dinosaur. Late Triassic (Norian) of the Los Colorados formation, Argentina. In this work, I decided to try another type of texture with a ballpoint pen, hatching, in a reptile with small scales. In the process, I had to face difficulties and resort to white gouache for corrections (however, as usual), but in the end it turned out well. :)

Portrait of the titanosaur Sarmientosaurus musacchioi from the Late Cretaceous of Argentina. I started sketching this portrait many months ago before completion, but moved on to textures and shadows only in November. According to the idea, there should have been a dark background around the dinosaur, and I made it with a ballpoint pen, but the result did not satisfy me either live or scanned, so I decided to paint over it with a gel ink pen. It turned out to be a very good contrast.

Trick or treat. (dressed as a dilophosaurus but the one from jurassic park)

Riojasaurus!

In this Late Triassic scene, the shrinking waterhole appears crowded. A lone Zupaysaurus tries to get a good sip of that water before the herd of Riojasaurus take up all the space by the hole.

DinApril Day 8: A Triassic dinosaur (that your mother saw).

Welcome to DinApril 2025, where instead of recycling my list from last year, I made my mom come up with the dinosaurs! Our eighth day features a Triassic dinosaur: Riojasaurus incertus! This female is picking through river stones for use as gastroliths, a curious Jachaleria colorata looking on.

Riojasaurus was chosen because it also appeared in An Alphabet of Dinosaurs. It's one of my favorite prosauropods as well, so have another one.

Coloration inspired by the Kid Galaxy by Xidi Riojasaurus from an unknown year around 2014.
