Drawing a Dinosaur with Dr. Robert T Bakker

"Leonardo da Vinci said: 'I dont understand a thing till I draw it.' When you draw, your finger tips teach your brain whats important."

Dr. Bakker paraphrased Leonardo da Vinci to explain why great paleontologists tend to be great artists, too. In this video, draw along with Dr. Bakker as he explains his signature paleo art style, step by step.

Its great, when i was 15, (15 years ago) I sat a table at a hotel in Como Bluff at one of his nightly seminars and watched him draw a dinosaur skull, with bones, followed by muscles and then the skin, layer after layer, still have the drawing at home after i meekly asked for it as a souvenir ...
