Description This is a drawing I did as a project for an art class about a year and a half ago. The project was scaling, in which we took a photo, drew a grid over it, and copied that grid to a larger scale on our portfolios. Here I used a promotional image from Walking with Dinosaurs depicting a tyrannosaurus rex mother and its child.

It's taken so long to upload this because, when I got it scanned originally, it was horribly light. The details could barely be made out. I finally tried a few things in my photoshop program Paint.Net and darkened up the features a bit. The results aren't spectacular, but it looks better than if it were whitewashed.

(Note to self: Never use Staples as a scanning service again! You cheapskate!)

Comments and critiques welcome and wanted as always!

this is nice dude, but the mother looks like the baby. the eye is WAY too big on the adult and WAY too small on the juvinile

Huh... I'd never thought much about that little detail. And now I've looked back at the original photo ([link] ) I can see what I did and how right you are. I made the eyelids too small on the adult. I guess the reference picture I printed didn't have the proper contrast when I was using it. Dang! Thanks for critique!

how much did you pay for that and okay thanks for advance warning to not use staples. You shouldnt pay money for a bad scanned pic like that thats a terrible job they did. I dont know if its the machine they used or the person.

from what I can see of the sketch that is a damn good drawing wow. It is still kinda really whitewash but the face of the big trex I can see okay its just its body is kinda hard to see. Is this the pic you were talking about in dance class? Or is there another t rex pic? whats wrong with staples scanning? you dont recommend it?

Yeah, this is the one I was talking about.

And the reason it was so light was it was Staples that scanned it.
