Live Nude Plastic Dinosaurs
Successful artists know that regular life-drawing sessions are essential for keeping the eye sharp and accurate.
As an unsuccessful artist, I can’t afford to have naked models come over to my house merely for the sake of honing my drafting skills, so I have to make do with my son’s dinosaur toys.
Very lifelike. And they hold a pose forever. But do you do gesture drawings?

With the exception of the odd perspective change on the triceratops, I would say this is a mighty fine, dinosaurific accomplishment. I swear I own the two before the last one. You bring back my childhood memories of monolithic monstrosities howling at each other upon the slick, wood-like top of an elementary school desk.
The perspective on the triceratops may look odd because it’s a chasmosaurus, as any six-year-old boy could tell you.
Give him some more! Give him some more! I bought some Schleich and Papo dinosaurs when I was in France this summer and I’m fairly happy with them.
Oh, we’ve got boxes and boxes of plastic dinosaurs, these are just the ones I could persuade to pose for me.
