so I’m stuck being unable to draw and decided to have a go at mapping out Gladstone’s house, when it occurred to me that some of you don’t know about floorplanner.com which is basically the best thing ever for planning interiors/quick and easy reference for when you need to Draw That
it’s free (for one project), it’s really good, and it’s super duper easy to use- enjoy!
i was looking up historically accurate clothing as a bit of art inspiration and found the online museum of saudi arabian costume.
there’s a bunch more gems just like these and they’re all so beautiful and unique. there’s also great information about the clothing, too, such as how they were made, who wore them, what fabrics were used, what the different parts of the costumes were called, etc. just a really fun and informative site and i thought i would share my find.

He scream
Excellent wing reference here. There’s a lot going on here that’s hard to identify in a fully-feathered adult wing.
Note the tendon running from the shoulder to the wrist. That’s the reason a bird’s elbow is not nearly as visible as a lot of artists tend to draw it.
Also note that the flight feathers stop at the elbow! This is the most wtf thing I ever learned. The feathers coming off the upper arm are just filler. The elbow is normally held close to the body to hide the gap.
These two things will make your wings 1000% better. And they apply to non-bird winged dinosaurs as well!
reblogging for (1) great reference (2) great scream
