A few weeks ago I visited the North Dakota Heritage Center in Bismarck in order to research Triceratops skulls. I was fortunate enough to be able to visit with some paleontologists there and make extensive observations of their beautifully mounted specimen. I drew each of these four, 30″x36″ one hour studies from life in order to capture the perspective and presence that the full size ~6′ long head possesses in order to more accurately convey that same feeling in the life size triceratops head that I’m beginning to sculpt.
