Step 1

We will start this T rex drawing by drawing the head. Start at the right end and make an “egg-like” shape, not a full egg shape.

It doesn’t have to be identical or perfect; it can be more square, round, or oval, and the finished product will still be just as great.

Step 2

Next, let’s draw a face – we’re going to draw a cute dinosaur, not a scary one. Draw an eye and a curved line above the eye (like an eyebrow). Draw a line for the mouth and create a nostril above the mouth line.

Step 3

Finish the face by drawing sharp teeth below the mouth.

Next is the neck. Continue the right line and create a curve, like a circular bracket, on the left side.

Step 4

You can’t draw a dinosaur, especially a T-rex, without cute hands. Draw a hand. When you’re done, draw a line for the back.

Step 5

Next is the hind legs.

Step 6

Bring it all together by drawing a curve for the belly and drawing the tail.

Step 7

You already know how to draw legs, so let’s draw the legs in the back.

Step 8

Now draw straight lines along the belly line, from the head all the way to the tip of the tail.

Step 9

Decorate! Draw lines on the belly and stripes or spots on the back to give texture to your cute dinosaur drawing.

Step 10

Congratulations! You’ve learned how to draw a dinosaur! All that’s left to do is color your drawing (and draw more dinosaurs).
