15 years later, Steven's doorbell rings. It's Emily, holding her thesis - an exquisitely illustrated scientific key to the Theropoda - and a katana.
hey steven, this is emily's dad. thanks so much for taking the time to do this. emily just told me today that this was on youtube and we watched it together.
You're welcome!
Look!!! It's a StevenBellentinisaurus bioligis (meaning Nerd Lizard)
this was amazing!
Emily did a wonderful job!
Steven Bellettini I'm going to save your favorites playlist and watch every video. I love your work on this show!
At first, I was becoming a little upset at how far he was taking his critique of what was, after all, the drawings of a child. Then I realized that of course he needed to point out her mistakes; that's the only way she'll learn, and the whole reason she submitted her book to the show in the first place. And then I realized that him critiquing her work in such a thorough manner was actually him validating her work. He wasn't treating it as refrigerator art, to receive graciously as a gift and ignore the flaws; he was treating it as *art* to be critiqued. And I remembered how, as a kid, I always used to get a bit upset whenever I showed my art to adults and they had nothing but praise, and even if I specifically pointed out the flaws they just reassured me that it wasn't too bad and that they were sure I'd do better next time. Children are coddled, artists are critiqued.
Also: Saurian ftw!
He basically completely replaced the Pteranodon. XD
Pteranodon of Thesus
ikr
lol
- Not bad.
- (Proceeds to remake it).
Lol
he just altered the fingers the tip of the wing and the head actually
This is awesome! This is exactly how adults should talk to children. If you’re not a dad yet, you’re going to be a great one!!
I thought this was really nicely done ^_^ this is fantastic constructive criticism, especially using examples of his own early work! Truthful and encouraging to a younger artist.
I love how he preserves the simplistic style
As a paleoartist in training, I really, really loved this. The toy critiques have improved my art greatly when it comes to anatomy and details; nevertheless, I'd love to see more episodes like this. It's very sweet that you took the time for constructive criticism to help her approve positivel rather than negatively. Keep up the great work, Steven (and you, too, Miss Emily)!
You know, I thought that maybe you were being too harsh at first. But then I realized; a lot of artists are coddled and also a lot of artists complain about being coddled for their art. That it's really hard for outsiders to just go ahead and tell them what's wrong with what they made.
And, as a result, people don't like it when they fail or are corrected, rather than learn from it, perpetuating the idea that correcting someone is somehow demotivational. It's not. If anything, it ought to be motivational and if you're not ready to take criticism, even when you're young, you got to, like, learn, man. Yeah, even as a kid. Especially as a kid.
I drew a lot when I was young, but I didn't push through with it, because I wasn't seeing significant improvement like I was seeing in other fields, because I believe (and I can't be sure, due to creative recollection) that I didn't receive in-depth criticism such as this.
I feel like he did a great job respecting the style of her art and kept his criticisms related to the physiology of the animals. Seems to be exactly what she asked for so there's nothing harsh about it, really. That said this coloring book is one of the cutest things I've ever seen.
Pretender I try to get people to be harsh towards my art because it makes me feel like I’m correct about my own art in that it’s poor but I know that it’s not awful but I still hate it (like most artists I know)
I think it's a very complicated matter that varies person to person, actually, as well as where exactly they are in there journey and what they need at the time, it can be anywhere on the sliding scale between pure praise and motivation and straight edged pure criticism. Personally, i wanted to draw very badly from a very young age but struggled with extremely profound anxiety and self esteem issues that made it a long and hard journey in which much criticism at all caused me to give it up for another chunk of time, all the way until a ways into adulthood and progress on the still-ongoing process of tackling those issues. However in this case, there's no way the artist or her parents didn't know exactly what this entailed, and indeed it's just like all his other episodes, so she was obviously prepared.
@@zachb8012 you're right, but also it should be recognized that this girl's drawings are excellent for a child.
anyone noticed the great sense of movement she achieved in "chasing bunny" (14:47)?
Yep. Artist here and indeed, even negative comments and reactions are better than none. I already know I'm a shit person, that made me try art in the first place, so yeah, critique is not a bad thing. Especially that there are modern pharmaceuticals now that can be used to handle it.
I don't know why but these videos are so satisfying.
I laughed more than I should have at the "battle dragon"
That episode was quite nice. I really like how you combined your drawings with the original ones. I really like the colors too. Even if not realistic, they give a more coloring book feeling.
Only REAL men color in a childrens' journal. X)
Thomas McClain Yes.
Feuh. I am real man then :D .
Thomas McClain with crayons
is that what british people call coloring books?
Calipers i domt thknk so, im british and have only ever called them colouring books
HE DID IT! HE MENTIONED SAURIAN! My life is complete!
All hail the coming of Saurian
THE AGE OF THE SOFT DINOSAURS HAS BEGUN !
F H W dat streem lined mudafuka
I'm gonna buy it.
Jeffrey Gao Is it on steam or?
Wish I had a teacher as thoughtful as you when I was growing up.
This js actually a wonderful critique especially for younger artists!! You were in no way demeaning and just knowledgeable. So kind.
Hello,
My name is Zeinner, I'm a 14 year old boy that has baaicaly spent the whole life studying dinosaurs. I really apreciate your work and dedication to change the "gigant iguana" pop-culture vision of dinosaurs. I want to become a paleoartist, I allready do some sketches on prehistoric creatures and I would really love to send some of them for you to analyse.
Ps: you are my hero
I do sculptures and draw
It would be my pleasure! But you're too kind: the real heroes are the scientists constantly working to suss out the truth about these animals.
Steven Bellettini Great! Well, you are a hero, scientist do the Research and study, but you are the one bringing all this information to the public in a really interesting and informativo way. My life goal is to help on breaking up this Idea of dinosaurs being gigant iguanas and I feel realized to know that there are People like you that are doing this. I really respect you :)
Oh.Hai paleo miner.It's me.Sans.You know.From the minecraft forum.
pedro henrique gazon Heyyyy man!
Stephen,
You are an awesome person!
I know if I had submitted my childhood dinosaur drawings to you, I would have totally appreciated all the critiques and comments you provided for Emily. :)
Thanks :]
This is one of my favorite youtube show ever. Thanks Steven !!!
Same! You were respectful and also informative, I appreciate how you critique!
I have a huge crush on this guy, seriously. He's too adorable.
I especially like the paper over paper edits you made.
I'm also down for you critiquing official dinosaur coloring books in the future.
Thank you! I actually LOVED this video! Thanks to Emily, I'm amazed at how close she was to begin with to the accuracy you demonstrated.
I enjoyed this episode! I think Emily’s drawings had to be close enough to be able to be edited. Good work and very informative. I, too, have started following this channel.
Many years ago I did a colouring book about dinosaurs for a publishing house.. it was for small children like age 3 - 5 so they asked me to make everything "cute" and inoffensive and drawing a huge beast like a dino looking inoffensive was quite a challenge... but I would like to send it to YDAW to see what Steven had to say I'm sure it would be super fun
Stephen looked even more uncomfortable during this episode than usual critiquing a child's work.
Nothing at all wrong with an adult coloring! It's relaxing, and fun, and cheaper than a spa retreat! 😄
YOU'RE NEVER TOO OLD TO COLOUR
this channel is quite relaxing
link to emily's etsy shop? i would like to financially support this budding artist
11:23 It's another Jurassic Park dinosaur, Ultimatsaurus
1:11 -- I dunno - that Albertosaurus looks exactly like the one I saw in my backyard last week.
"color as a grown man" It's called being an artist.
As the person from South Dakota it’s happy to see Dakota raptor in here😊
Allosaurus is next, nice!
Excited for allosaurus!
really hoping for Liopleurodon or Mosasaurus..... -- just curious...are you formally trained as a paleontologist, or just a really avid "amatuer"? Your research seems VERY indepth.
Tim Hyatt Are you asking to me? lol!
* Fredded*
+Tim Hyatt, probably not gonna happen since neither of those species was a dinosaur.
I love this show, in fact i wouldn't mind more "drawing" episodes like this, I actually really enjoyed it!
On the note of fabulousness, an interesting point I read somewhere is that the idea that dinosaurs would necessarily be drab-colored seems to be mostly based on expectations based on modern large land animals. However, those tend to be either mammals with poor color vision (elephants, rhinos and so on), or ambush predators in need of camouflage like komodo dragons and crocodilians. It seems a good guess that dinosaurs would have good color vision since, well, they're not mammals, and both birds and reptiles do. Those birds and reptiles that don't prioritize camouflage also frequently have prominent display colors.
One idea I find particularly fun is colorful sauropods. I have a hard time seeing how the bigger ones could usefully hide in any way, so they might as well be any color they like (and are able to evolve). The visual of a giant and colorful animal is just something really alien, and taking a guess it strikes me as about as likely as the more traditional restorations.
I really dig the fluent way the names are pronounced.
simply amazing, you should do more of these!
The intro is a masterpiece that has happened multiple times with dinosaur enthusiasts funny and accurate 10/10
Older people than you get their crayons out, old style cartoons (before computers) ;)
Sparky Projects
Crayola Rocks!!
I am 13, and I would love to send you some art of mine because I love to draw dinosaurs and always go for realism, I have watched all YDAWs, and I would like you to analyze them.
my critique for the miscellaneous birds is definitely the different feather regions of the wings and tails. wings of any shape and size have distinct areas of different types of feathers, tail feathers to a lesser extent but theyre not just long feathers like depicted
I think I have to disagree with your theory that tyrannosaurs had exposed teeth, even when the jaws are closed and that they had lips. They were terrestrial animals, and their teeth need to constantly be moist to prevent cavities. My hypothesis is that if the tooth extend past the mandible, then it is exposed, like the machairodontids, (saber toothed cats). Crocodilians, on the other hand, have their teeth exposed, because their semi-aquatic, they get the moisture for their teeth in their environment. But it's my opinion, I'm not judging you.
I agree with you,even if the dinasoures are related to crocodiles.the tyranosaurus and other carnivores they would need moisture in there teeth.the fossil evidence shows the teeth out side but with the flesh and scales or fethers the teeth wouldn't be exposed
It probably depends on the rate at which the teeth could grow. If the teeth were replaced very often, then the teeth could very well be exposed.
So sabretooth cats also had giant lips over their gigantic teeth extending beyond their jaws?
+Pakislav
What Paul meant was, since smilodon's fangs were to long to be fully cover under lips, since those far exceeded the lower jaw. Therefore, the Smilodon was an exception to the rule of lips. The T. rex on the other hand, its upper teeth never went past the middle of the lower jaw, there's a high chance it was fully covered under lips. Kind of like Komodo Dragons, Cats and lots of carnivore terrestrial animals with their massive lips that only retract to expose the teeth for biting.
There are some especulations that saber tooths had actually pouches or cheecks like a boxer have.
Awesome episode!! Great book Emily!
And yayyyy Allosaurus!!
John Grabowski Thanks! I drew it when I was 9, so it's not as good as it could have been if I had drawn it now, during my 13th year. But I'm glad you like it! 😊
YAAASSSS HE'S DOING ALLOSAURUS
This was extremely enjoyable and wish you'd do more of these!
We love to see a Battle Dragon.
I find this video super cute for some reason.
as an artist myself i thought this was a really good critique! i feel like people are afraid to critique an artist's work because you don't want to come off as too harsh and potentially discourage the artist from drawing more, but i think you had just the right amount of friendly but still critical. you made a lot of changes, but still pointed out what emily did correctly. it was a really good idea to show your own early artwork. it can be kind of discouraging to look up to an artist who's artwork looks so much better than your own, but by seeing the artist's earlier work, it gives a sense of hope, like "my art looks similar to how his art looked back then, so that means one day my art might look as good as his does now!" i hope emily has kept drawing since this episode, she had a lot of talent and enthusiasm!
you can draw really good
Gamer Swag Thank you very much! 😊
Daily Gaming *well
He's an animator, he's mentioned it before on the show.
"Ok up first, everything is completely wrong..."
Oh wow! That "hybrid" looks to be based on the unreleased Jurassic Park Chaos Effect toy, Ultimasaurus. I wonder where she's getting her inspirations from.
0:48 aww she has a cockatiel! its so adorable!
I think he should do Cryolophosaurus or Acrocanthosaurus-like and/or reply if you think so too!
OOOOOOOOOOOOI A NEW EPISODE.
I am definitely calling it "dinosaur fluff" from now on.
Me too
Dinosaur floff xD
This is one of my fave episodes to far no one is to old for colouring in
you should definitely do more vids like this , I enjoyed immensely
This is one of my favorites.
I'm so glad you colored it!
I love your videos, I love your drawing skills and your Dinosaur knowledge!!!
Sharp claws on the feet should be fine, actually. Theropod footprints show imprints of sharp claws at the tips of the toes (whenever the claw marks are well preserved, anyway), and that's more or less the shape of the bone cores. But other than that, though.
All of it is better than anything I ever managed to draw even as a teen. Then again, I never practiced.
My dinosaurs are right, *because my dinosaurs are the feathered bois*
So Tyrannosaurines had 'wings'? I'm still unsure about that. If so, what type of feather would they be? Coverts?
Also, bird-like tarsal scutes on Tyrannosaurines, do they exist?
Thank you
It is really satisfying to watch a paleogenius point out the inaccuracies of dinosaur art
Do we know the colors of certain dinosaurs? I only ask because there were a huge amount of different species and like you say, sometimes we have to look around us. If you look at nature, especially amongst avians, there are all sorts of colors.
10:46 pink and violet Dino's great 👍 people usually depict them with browns and grey
I love these videos
I like the mean side look.
liked before i even watched it.
I love this series
Its so cool that you know about saurian :D
Yay! Allosaurus is next!
*Fredded *
I actually really love this episode style! I work at a dinosaur park, and I know a lot of kids get into dinosaurs through paleoart, and some of their first introductions to that are through not-so-accurate coloring books. I actually found this series while doing research bc I have art training and my boss asked me to design printable coloring pages for kids at home, featuring our park's dinosaurs. I would LOVE to see more episodes like this where you draw over coloring books! (Also can please you do a YDAW for ceratosaurus and torvosaurus?)
Thumbs up if you take mental 'snapshots' of the completed, accurate animal as it to lock it in your brain.
You fixing her art is nice showing her how to improve and is nice :D
great new episode...been looking forward to this...favorite show on your channel
I do generally like the idea to look at more than one depiction of a dinosaur if it is about a specific product or franchise. I'd really appreciate something like an overall YDAW for Jurassic Park or ARK: Survival Evolved.
I want to see a fallow up. Or the artist and our boy work together. I think it's good you when't into that much detail. I sure wish more people in my life did that with my art. Its really helps to improve you in being better as a artist.
Your a pretty good artist
I feel like I need to send my doodles now...
What are your thoughts on the indoraptor?
..wait, there wasn't grass? There is a large piece of my education missing.
I have now realized from this video that I suck at drawing dinosaurs
This one was cute XD
12:57 You re-did the whole thing xD
yay Allosaurus !
Dokotaraptor is my favourite dino
I really hoped Spinosaurus would be in here
I love dinosaurus with feathers!!!!
Yaaay new episode!
:D
Steve did a really nice critique of her artwork and was very encouraging as well.
I just realized that you completely redid the pteranodon and that the camera must be attached to the ceiling!
THE DAKOTARAPTOR IS BARNY! 😂
Your comments help my drawings of dinosaurs!
Grass seems like a very good strategy for a plant, what would have filled that niche at the time? I have a hard time believing that it was just empty for millions of years...
Soil and gravel would be on the ground, and grass is a new niche, for a widespread plant, but there are places where grass hasn't reached, which looks similar to what the Dinosaurs would see
That hybrid is based off of Jurassic Park’s Ultimatsaurus
yeah theres no hope for the Pteranodon. XD
Allosaurus.. something tells me it's that little purple fecker with the corythosaurus crest from the intro. I had that one and it was supposed to be an Allosaurus
haha i find it hilarious that the geek group is a lot more than dinosaurs but Ydaw gets all the fame and credit! it seams so popular that it should just get its own channel!
Yeah I think it should become it's own channel. YT needs more dinosaur channels. Not really interested the other stuff.
well the other stuff can be interesting, id check it out if i were you. but dinosaurs rule!
