More Answers to Your Questions
You guys keep asking me interesting questions. These are from my Instagram and YouTube channels:
@koterminion: "What got you into classical dinosaurs?"jamesgurneyart The recent revolution in science made me see the dinosaurs of my childhood in a new light. Plus there are so many newly-discovered (non-classical?) dinosaurs that no one imagined decades ago.

sympaima: "What kind of tradition would you consider your work is?"
jamesgurneyart@sympaima I draw inspiration from a million sources: movies, games, comics, 1930s animation, Golden Age illustration, 1980s illustration, plein-air impressionism, academic painting, digital concept art. Each one has its heroes, its standards, and its way of doing things. At the same time, I feel outside of each one of those traditions, but I feel like they're all part of something bigger, which is telling stories with pictures.

@alexwishard: About how many hours went into just the painting (excluding thumbs, initial sketches, etc)?
jamesgurneyart@alexwishard To keep up with quotas, a painting like this one (from Dinotopia: The World Beneath) took about three days total. I had to produce 10 pages of book art per month.

sthom4bad Your sketchbooks that I have seen are filled with miniature works of art - you seem to finish everything to completion. Do you have sketchbooks where you don't finish things or abort them in the middle or try things out that don't work?"
James Gurney I have lots of sketchbooks that are all drawn in pencil and other drawing media, but recently I've been painting primarily in gouache. I just love it because it's so direct and I can take it everywhere. I suppose some of my plein-air sketchbook pieces look finished, but other ones are quite loose and sketchy. I do try to achieve a finished effect immediately regardless of how much time I have.

If they're my age, ask them how the business has changed and what skills they had to learn mid- career. If they're a younger pro, ask how their art school helped them. If their art training fell short, I'd ask what skills the school failed to provide.
