No dinosaur had the facial muscles or skull structure to smile or anything, but it's especially hard with the carnivores since it's so hard to mess with their facial structure.

- hence why so many people seem to give them a birdish look - Kyoht (an artist whose work I look up to) does a lot of paleoart (and has a tutorial
here) and tends towards the "birdish" theme. I'm not arguing that you're doing them wrong, and that they'd all have chubby humanlike cheeks (because that'd be silly.
), just that saying they "all" do them with a skull-like look to the head is a bit off.
It's the same with feathers - a lot agree that the dromaeosaurs most likely had insulatory feathers on at least SOME of their bodies to support an active lifestyle, but then a lot just disagree and make them naked. :P
Edit: As a sidenote, does anyone have any good diagrams of bird eye anatomy? I've got fed up of browsing the web for it and not finding it... :P
Edit2: Grr, stupid codes. *corrects it*
