I did this portrait of paleontologist Robert Bakker to illustrate an article in a science magazine using oil wash over pencil.
Bakker has been a proponent of the hypothesis that dinosaurs were warm-blooded, smart, fast, and adaptable. He published a 1968 paper on dinosaur endothermy and wrote the book, The Dinosaur Heresies in 1986, which helped establish a scientific rationale for both Jurassic Park and Dinotopia.

In an oil wash like this, do you use any opaque oil?
Hey, Adam, love your work.
On this one the oil is all transparent, with some of the beard hairs, etc scratched out. But I've always got the white if I need to cover up a goof.
So happy to see this, as someone who grew up admiring both Bakker and you. When I was a teenager, I had an advertisement he did for Rockport shoes and Dinotopia stuff hanging in my bedroom.
