“Pterodactyl” was inspired by a photo taken by friend and multi talented Timothy Price @ Off Center Not Even. It is probably actually some kind of crane or egret or heron(?) he found in his “back yard” in New Mexico, he calls them “paradactyls” they do look very prehistoric!
As soon as I saw the photo I knew I wanted to draw it. It was just the inspiration I needed to keep practicing my sketching skills after revisiting drawing in the last 2020 Inktober event.
Here is Tim’s photograph that inspired me!
Not for sale, and nothing to promote today, I just wanted to share! Have a great weekend everyone! Stay creative and stay healthy! 😊🤗

Thank you Tim! I just love the composition of the photo. I suppose they tuck one leg up when perched?

That’s really cool. Love the little hairy bits coming off the bird. Looks like a real character.

Thanks, Chris! I think that his character is what caught my attention first, I just had to sketch him!
