'cause it might be difficult to read:
p3: CRUNCH
p4: mmmmm
p5: "Much yummy?"
p6: "Whaddoyou want?" "Well, I've been thinking…"

I'm a right-hander, so I wanted to draw something with my left hand.

But what?
By accident (I googled "female minotaur" to check alternative depictions for, well, wordweaver three's Love Curse's Damali) I found Tom Babbey's sketchblog with some simply gorgeous dinosaur pics and it reminded my how much I loved them. The Lambeosaurus is killer, but so is the Oviraptor/Citipati even more.

So you get Oviraptor/Citipati.

Dino facts:
They've assumed for a long time that Oviraptor was an egg-thief (hence his name), based on his skeleton found in a nest thought to belong to Protoceratops. But recently they dicovered a baby Oviraptor in one of the eggs, so it was his own nest and he isn't an egg thief. Now that makes him even cooler. I like his shape.
This Oviraptor might have been a Citipati as well, because of the bad condition the skull was in.

Drawing with the left hand took some time because I had to concentrate more. But it was a pleasant state of mind. Now I know, should I ever loose my right hand due to some weird accident, I would have to train with my left, but I would succeed in keeping on drawing.

I especially like Citipati #1 in the last panel.
