The video also serves as a quick lesson on paleontology and anatomy. The result of this basic technique won't turn you into a paleo-art master overnight, but I could definitely see the difference in my own drawing. All it takes are a few simple shapes an oval, a "c," a "tooth shape," and a few others. The first video in the series presents a step-by-step method for drawing Tyrannosaurus rex.

That's why I was excited to hear that paleo-artist David Krentz has started a series of "how-to" videos showing viewers how to draw some of their favorite dinosaurs. I know what a lot of dinosaurs looked like, but transferring the image in my head to the paper can be pretty difficult. When I get bored in class I often draw little doodles of dinosaurs in the margin of my notebook, but none of them have turned out particularly well.
