UPDATE FEB 5, 2013:
As it had come to light after I had finished the Hadrosaurids for my project that they actually could not pronate their hands, I went back and altered Brachylophosaurus accordingly. I also updated the ridge on its back to better match the way I drew Hadrosaurid back ridges later on in the project.
