A Compsognathus leaps into the air, its' left foot still connected to the ground.
Dinovember Glow Up #30 - Compsognathus
The final day of Dinovember, and we finish with a Compsognathus leaping into the air. It's been a lot of fun revisiting these prompts and I'm very happy with how these glow ups turned out. Happy Dinovember!

#Dinovember2025
A Giganotosaurus charges towards the left, its' jaws wide open as it does so.
Dinovember Glow Up #29 - Giganotosaurus
Our penultimate glow up goes to Giganotosaurus, which we see here charging and bellowing in an aggressive threat display. Only one to go now...
#drawdinovember
#Dinovember2025
A father Tyrannosaurus, on the right, touches snouts with his much smaller juvenile daughter.
Dinovember Glow Up #28 - Tyrannosaurus
Today we join a father Tyrannosaurus enjoying some quality bonding time with his juvenile daughter. Soon she will be old enough to go it alone, so best enjoy these moments while they can.
#drawdinovember
#Dinovember2025
An older scarred Centrosaurus male charges from the left at a younger male, a flock of enantiornithines flying off the younger one's back
Dinovember Glow Up #27 - Centrosaurus
A more intense day today, as a pair of male Centrosaurus get into a fight, the flock of enantiornithines atop the younger male's back scattering.
#drawdinovember
#Dinovember2025
A Deinonychus stands on one leg, licking blood off its' killing claw.
Dinovember Glow Up #26 - Deinonychus
Today gives us a Deinonychus cleaning off its' talons after a particularly messy feeding. The original piece used a lot of inspiration from birds of prey, and hopefully that's even more apparent now.
#drawdinovember
#Dinovember2025
Spinosaurus bounds along a riverbed, submerged up to its' shoulders in water, and moving to the left.
Dinovember Glow Up #25 - Spinosaurus
Today the legendary, and equally controversial, Spinosaurus patrols the waterways, punting along the bottom of a shallower river. Hopefully a nice intermediate between wading and swimming.
#drawdinovember
#Dinovember2025
A huge Barosaurus strides to the left, a flock of tiny-looking pterosaurs sitting on its' back and head as well as flying around it.
Dinovember Glow Up #24 - Barosaurus
Today we have a true colossus; an utterly enormous Barosaurus. Whether it is truly 50 metres long or not is up to you, but either way the pterosaurs around it look as small as insects.
#drawdinovember
#Dinovember2025
A Parasaurolophus stands to the left a d calls out, a thin cloud of breath emerging as it does.
Dinovember Glow Up #23 - Parasaurolophus
Today we are tootin' as a male Parasaurolophus bugles in the chilly early morning air. P. tubicen doesn't get nearly as much attention as the other two species.
#drawdinovember
#Dinovember2025
A Microraptor stands facing the left, its' wing stretched outwards.
Dinovember Glow Up #22 - Microraptor
Today we have a Microraptor finishing up preening its' shiny, iridescent plumage. Think the iridescence turned out a lot better than before.
#drawdinovember
#Dinovember2025
A Pachycephalosaurus with a dented dome strolls to the left, a Chamops dangling from its' beak by the head.
Dinovember Glow Up #21 - Pachycephalosaurus
Today we have a Pachycephalosaurus taking a break from veggies by snacking on an unfortunate Chamops. I thought it was time to do a full-grown adult of this animal after only doing subadults before.
#drawdinovember
#Dinovember2025
A young adult Psittacosaurus is sat down, with two babies at its' feet; one of which is clinging to its' arm and calling up at it. Two more babies clamber on its' head and neck.
Dinovember Glow Up #20 - Psittacosaurus
Two thirds of the way now, and today we mark that with a young adult Psittacosaurus tending to some unruly babies. The older animal is not the parent, but a babysitting older sibling.
#drawdinovember
#Dinovember2025
A male Carnotaurus sleeping on its' side by some flowers, flies buzzing around it.
Dinovember Glow Up #19 - Carnotaurus
Today we have a male Carnotaurus enjoying a long sleep. Always nice to do theropods having some chill time.
#drawdinovember
#Dinovember2025
A Diplodocus strides to the right, its' head used by two small pterosaurs as a perch. Two more perch on its' back, while several others fly around it.
Dinovember Glow Up #18 - Diplodocus
Today we have Diplodocus on a stroll, accompanied by an entourage of pterosaurs. This one was inspired by @tessasaurus.bsky.social's studies on Diplodocus skin. Also look out for a small easter egg from my wife.
#drawdinovember
#Dinovember2025
A male Iguanodon lies in the shade on its' belly, legs slightly splayed, against the base of a tall tree.
Dinovember Glow Up #17 - Iguanodon
Today we have a bull Iguanodon relaxing under the base of a tall tree. As my favourite dinosaur, Iguanodon is one I always want to do justice, and I'm quite happy with how this one turned out.
#drawdinovember
#Dinovember2025
A yellow-eyed male Utahraptor charges to the right, while a blue-eyed female Utahraptor lifts her head up, flesh dangling from her jaws. Around them lie bloodied and flesh-covered bones.
Dinovember Glow Up #16 - Utahraptor
Into the second half of Dinovember now, and today we have a mated pair of Utahraptors enjoying the last scraps of their latest kill. At least, until something interrupts them.
#drawdinovember
#Dinovember2025
A Baryonyx strides to the right, its' head raised up.
Dinovember Glow Up #15 - Baryonyx
Halfway there now, and today we have a Baryonyx striding in an almost shoebill-like manner. Somehow its' stare doesn't appear as intense though.
#drawdinovember
#Dinovember2025
A Chasmosaurus faces the viewer in a slightly splayed stance, showing off its' brightly coloured frill and two balloon-like nasal sacs inflated on its' nose.
Dinovember Glow Up #14 - Chasmosaurus
Today we have an angry Chasmosaurus engaging in an elaborate threat display; flushing blood into its' frill to create bright colours, and inflating a pair of nasal sacs.
#drawdinovember
#Dinovember2025
A striped female Lambeosaurus lambei stands at the edge of a stream, her head lowered after just taking a drink. Water drips from her beak.
Dinovember Glow Up #13 - Lambeosaurus
Today we have a Lambeosaurus quietly drinking from a stream. This 'zebra-pattern' is another colour scheme I've been using for years, and at this point I can’t imagine it looking any other way.
#drawdinovember
#dinovember2025
A male Protoceratops runs with a blue oviraptorid egg in its' beak.
Dinovember Glow Up #12 - Protoceratops
A boar Protoceratops makes a quick getaway with an oviraptorid egg it stole from a nest. Best be quick so that the parent doesn't try to get it back.
#drawdinovember
#dinovember2025
Austroraptor throws its' head back and swallows a gar head first.
Dinovember Glow Up #11 - Austroraptor
Day 11 arrives, and with it we have an Austroraptor swallowing a gar, its' most recent catch. Feathers are always a fun one.
#drawdinovember
#dinovember2025
An Amargasaurus stands, its' head turned slightly to the left.
Dinovember Glow Up #10 - Amargasaurus
Today we hit double digits, and with it we have an Amargasaurus striking a pose. Much has changed since I last drew this guy, notably Amargasaurus' neck spines being found to support a sail after all.
#drawdinovember
#Dinovember2025
A large Edmontosaurus strolls along, several scars visible on his body.
Dinovember Glow Up #9 - Edmontosaurus
Today's much-needed glow up is Edmontosaurus. Here we have a large bull, bearing the scars of a long and difficult life, but still walking with his head high.
#drawdinovember #dinovember2025
A pair of Daspletosaurus fight, each covered in fresh wounds on their heads and necks. The animal on the left is biting down on the neck of the animal on the right.
Dinovember Glow Up #8 - Daspletosaurus
In today's piece, a pair of Daspletosaurus get into a brutal and bloody fight. Given that we know that Daspletosaurus was cannibalistic, it's not unlikely that the winner will end up eating the loser.
#drawdinovember
#dinovember2025
A Stegosaurus stands with its' legs slightly splayed, stretching its' neck out and bellowing while raising its' tail.
Dinovember Glow Up #7 - Stegosaurus
Today we have the iconic Stegosaurus, seen here adopting a defensive pose not unlike that of the now iconic London Natural History Museum mount.
#drawdinovember #dinovember2025
A Dilophosaurus sits peacefully, its' tail arcing round slightly.
Dinovember Glow Up #6 - Dilophosaurus
Just a Dilophosaurus sitting peacefully and enjoying a rest. A lot has changed about our perception of this animal since 2018, hopefully this successfully reflected in this particular glow up.
#drawdinovember #dinovember2025
An Ankylosaurus uses its' long muscular tongue to grab an overhead branch and pull it into its' mouth.
Dinovember Glow Up #5 - Ankylosaurus
Today we join an Ankylosaurus for lunch; the armoured giant making use of its' long muscular tongue to grab some higher branches. Ankylosaurs remain a challenge to draw with all their armour, but worth it.
#drawdinovember #dinovember2025
A female, completely brown, Coelophysis touches noses with a displaying male, with a bright blue head, neck and tail, as well as an inflated throat sac covered in red markings.
Dinovember Glow Up #4 - Coelophysis
Onto Day 4, and love is in the air as a male Coelophysis has successfully wooed a female with an elaborate courtship display. Still using the same colour scheme for my Coelophysis even after all these years.
#drawdinovember #dinovember2025
A Nigersaurus turns to face its' right, its' mouth full of horsetails.
Dinovember Glow Up #3 - Nigersaurus
Day 3! Let's give it up for Day 3! And today’s glow up goes to Nigersaurus, here pausing from grazing horsetails to check if it really did see a predator watching it.
#drawdinovember #Dinovember2025
A Pachyrhinosaurus with a scuffed and cracked nasal boss striding towards the viewer.
Dinovember Glow Up #2 - Pachyrhinosaurus
Today's piece is a lone Pachyrhinosaurus out for a stroll. It feels good to draw this dino again after a long time; the nasal boss was much easier to draw this time.
#drawdinovember #Dinovember2025
An Allosaurus fragilis faces away from the viewer, with its' head turned to the side.
Dinovember Glow Up #1 - Allosaurus
This Dinovember I’ve decided to take a trip down memory lane, following the first prompt list I took part in back in 2018 but with an updated twist. First up this month, we have Allosaurus!
