attempting this topic in my usual illustration style would probably mean dressing up the little people i draw in tiger costumes. but that doesn’t sound too interesting, does it? i was about to skip this topic when i recalled having 2 packets of dinosaur origami lying around somewhere. i bought them a few months back and meant to bring them home for my nephews because the older one is attending origami classes and the middle one is all about dinosaurs (and pokemon and batman). but when i opened the packet up, i realised there was no way i was going to be able to translate all that instructions into english.

i had a bit fun making the dinos 2 weeks ago. it tickled me pink because this is so not a topic i’d usually attempt. i really wanted to bring them out for a photoshoot but i couldn’t muster up enough courage, so i did it at home instead. i think it turned out pretty ok : )

and since i will probably not have time to do a whole lot of editing, i am going to post the final versions here as well. and remember the kitties on the tree? scroll down and and have a peek!

The dinosaurs are SO COOL!!!! I reckon it’ll really be great if you can shoot them with some grass or tree bark… but what you have a awesome all the same! So glad that you found them for item number 6.
Love the final version of the cats in the tree. I always like how you use print patters to fill parts of your drawing.
All the best for the rest of the scavanger project. In case it slipped your mind, I think you’re a really amazing artist
