Dinosaur Speed Art | "China Marker" Ceratosaurus | Full Coloring Process

Years ago when I was back in middle school, I drew quite an ugly-looking Ceratosaurus with China marker on black paper. I didn't like it too much, but my art teacher at the time loved it and submitted it to a contest, winning me a 3rd place prize that I didn't know about until I was a late sophomore in high school. I thought it would be fun to redraw the ugly thing and give it some love. As a benefit, I thought it would be a great exercise in creating the illusion of light, form, and volume to a 2-dimensional artwork. I've sort of done this before here on YouTube, but I wasn't too happy with the night-vision effect I was going for.

Unfortunately, the quality of the video is atrocious, and I'm not sure why it's like that. OBS had my usual settings while recording and it looked fine while editing and exporting. The YouTube short's quality is totally fine so I know it's not an exporting issue. Regardless of that, I hope you enjoyed the video, and check out a better-quality final on my DeviantArt.
