cartoon dinosaur community policeman with youngster © MARTIN DAVEY 2010 This illustration of a Dinosaur as a community police man is again the idea of changing a human, in a mundane activity and replacing them with a animal, or in this case a dinosaur. The species in this case is a Triceratops, and is comforting a young biped diosaur over its broken toy, in an urban setting. Of course some is spent on reference for the clothing that a typical commun ity policeman would wear. The illustration is painted in photoshop to a 8" x 10" format. These types of images are not drawn on paper first, but sketched out on the computer until a refined drawing is produced. The painting, using traditional methods of painting, in a virtual enviroment, are painted underneath the drawing on a seperate photoshop layer, until such time the drawing can be abandoned. Other similar dinosaur paintings can be see here and here.
