Professional Creature Artist Shares Drawings and Tips

I interview a creature artist and an extinct-and-extant fauna artist from Armenia. We cover practical topics such as how he turned a passion into a profession, drawing techniques, the difference between Artificial Intelligence-generated and human-drawn art, and the possibility of dinosaur fossils in Armenia. He shares several drawings, including a three-headed reptile-dragon he recently finished on commission.
