So I've been drawing dinosaurs a lot when I was younger and I still do as of writing this. I only draw them on paper and I'm hoping to draw them digitally.
However, I'm not sure how to draw them realistically. I want out how paleoartists draw...
Realistic scales, fur, feathers, pycnofibers, amphibious skin, wrinkles, and muscles on prehistoric animals
Add shading, lighting, wet, and other natural textures on prehistoric animals.
Where to add shade and light to an animals body and in the background.
How to make an the shadows of trees and other things above dinosaurs look proportional.
Make their eyes, insides of their mouths, and scars also look realistic.
How to make realistic backgrounds.
Dusty and other textures that make the dinosaurs look dirty.
Underwater textures of marine prehistoric animals.
Blood underwater.
Shadows.
Proper proportions.
How to make more proportional looking prehistoric animals and draw them in different and proportinal poses.
How to make the prehistoric animal interact in the environment (when their feet are in water, foot prints, etc.)
How to make the environment or background of prehistoric animals look real (Realistic trees, plants, mosses, rivers, swamps, logs, sand, dust, splashes, clouds, the sky, the ground, the sun, the moon, etc.).
General tips on how to make my dinosaurs and prehistoric animals look more real and natural.
I also would like to know how to make my pencil art more look realistic. I also would like to learn how to paint and use pencil crayons too to add colour. Things like...
How to make scales, fur, feathers, pycnofibers, amphibious skin, and muscles on prehistoric animals with pencil (I mainly use a mechanical 0.5 mm pencil for drawing)
How to paint relistic scales, fur, feathers, pycnofibers, amphibious skin, wrinkles, and muscles on prehistoric animals with a paint brush
How to colour realistic scales, fur, feathers, pycnofibers, amphibious skin, wrinkles, and muscles on prehistoric animals with pencil crayons.
How to get the correct shape of dinosaurs with paint brushes.
Where to shade and add light on prehistoric animals and how to make my shading and lighting look proper and percise.
What mechanical pencil and paint brush sizes are best for shading, drawing textures such as a wet texture, scales, furs, feathers, and other textures and prehistoric animals and the background as well.
What pencil crayons are best for colouring dinosaurs.
Can you guys give me a few tips or instructions or send me pictures, websties, books, or video tutorials on how to do paleoart (or natural art in general). Also, I'd like to know...
What layers to put for each part of the prehistoric animal.
What devices are best for drawing realistic animals.
What tools in digital art software (e.g adobe photoshop and illustrate) can help make them look realistic or make the process
What devices should I get to make my paleoart look better (Drawing tablets, digital pens, a good and fast device, etc.)
Overall steps on what to do, when making paleoart.
I just really would like to draw like other paleoartists like Julius Csotonyi, Franco Tempesta, Rj Palmer, and Gabriel N U do it. I'd appreciate it (could you guys also explain it in simple words, I'm not really good with strong, tense words).
