How James Gurney paints dinosaurs

[Video Link] I love James Gurney’s art. He is the creator of the beautiful Dinotopia series of books, and he’s just made a video that shows the process he used to paint two illustrations of dinosaurs for Scientific American. This trailer shows how much careful planning Jim puts into his work — sketches, color, studies, photography, and cool 3D models. Wow! I sure admire his devotion to his craft.

The 56-minute video is available at a name-your-price starting point of $15, which is a great deal. It’ll also be available soon on DVD with bonus features.
