up close and personal

1. I came up with this idea simply because triceratops are my favorite dinosaur, and nobody has ever been this close to one.
2.I used emphasis by putting vibrant colors on the head, and just over all, contrasting colors.
3. I used pastels to help put value on the scaly skin.
4. I honestly dont believe that I took much risk while drawing this. I dont have a reason, I just decided to draw what i thought was a good idea and just come up with more ideas as I went on.
5. I believe that I used technique with this drawing by how I colored his body, almost making it's skin look scaly.
