How to Draw Dinosaur Step by Step Drawing References

Step 1
Draw an oval. Start with a simple horizontal oval shape—this will be the dinosaur’s body.

Step 2
Add head and tail. Attach a small rounded head to one side of the oval and a long curved tail to the other.

Step 3
Sketch the legs. Add basic stick-like shapes underneath the body to mark where the legs will go.

Step 4
Draw the arms. Add small front arms and begin shaping the legs more clearly.

Step 5
Outline the body. Refine the full body shape, connecting all parts smoothly and giving the legs more volume.

Step 6
Add details. Include features like spikes along the back and define the limbs and body contours.

Step 7
Draw the eye and teeth. Add facial details such as the eye and a simple mouth (with small teeth if desired).

Step 8
Color your dinosaur. Finish by coloring the dinosaur (green in the example), adding shading or highlights for a lively look.
