How to draw dinosaurs step by step

Here are 10 easy-to-follow steps to teach kids how to draw dinosaurs. They should simplify the process for children of all ages and abilities.

Step 2

Now, we will start forming the top of the dinosaur head. A longer line from the top V-shaped left to the left will form the dinosaur’s nose. Draw another shorter line from the right side of the highest V shape. Then, put that line a little lower than the nose. Please be sure to add a small nostril!

Step 3

Let’s start forming the mouth. Starting from the bottom of the nose, draw a horizontal S-shaped shape a little further away than the eyes. Then, draw a line, bend and end about the end from the nose down.

Step 4

This step will begin the last step. Draw a curved line that connects the eye upwards to where the eye begins. Next, use the bottom of the dinosaur’s head as a line, and the two curves extend upwards.

Step 5

Now, we will add some details to the dinosaur’s mouth to help him become more ferocious! Add a line to the inner corner of the mouth to form a small triangle. Add a few triangles at the top and bottom of the mouth so that your dinosaur can have some nice crumbs. Finally, add a small inner triangle to the middle of the bottom of the mouth.

Step 6

Let’s start drawing that body now! First draw a very narrow neck from the lower left side of the head. Draw those infamous tiny T-Rex arms stretched out from the neck and lowered the slightly larger ones a little lower. The second arm was stretched, so its hallucination in the foreground was there. Start building your body from there. It should be aligned to the side of the neck, but slightly wider.

Step 7

It’s time to start flushing the rest of the dinosaurs. Walk from the upper left corner of the head and draw a line that bends, then bends up again, then bends upwards again to form the beginning of the dinosaur’s back and tail.

Step 8

The hind legs of Dino in the foreground will start in a C-shaped shape that extends into Dino’s body and forms a foot facing downwards. The foot has two pointed toes, and a short horizontal line above it forms a C-shaped line that fits the first one. The hind legs in the background are smaller and the feet are higher than the other. It should start with the dinosaur’s body between the forearm and the larger hind legs.

Step 9

Now, we will connect the tip of the tail to the bottom inside the dinosaur. The bottom line should be consistent with the outer edge of the dinosaur body between the wild arms and legs. Another line should be mirrored within another line.

Step 10

While you can add the same details to the dinosaur’s body, you can feel free to personalize it! If you want to recreate this dinosaur, you can add inverted triangles to the head, back and tail of the dinosaur. You can also add some triangles to the legs of the foreground.
