How to draw a dinosaur

Hi! Let’s try drawing a dinosaur.

Let’s draw a brachiosaurus.

First, try holding your pencil in a tripod grip or something that feels comfortable.

Then, in the middle of the page draw an oval which is like a stretched out circle.

This will be its body so make it big, but don’t use the whole page. Now, find a spot above and slightly to the side. Then draw a smaller oval for the head.

For the brachiosaurus' long neck, draw a bendy line from the head to the body. And another one next to it… here.

A brachiosaurus had a long tail too, so let’s draw that at the other end of the body. First, draw a curved line like this. Now draw another curved line that meets the first one right at the end of the tail.

Starting to look like a dinosaur, isn’t it?

Did you know a brachiosaurus was as tall as two double-decker buses? That’s so big!

Okay. Brachiosaurus had four legs so let’s draw those underneath the body. One. Two. Three. Four.

Let's add a little smile and an eye. That’s a brilliant brachiosaurus.

Yum!

Yours might look a little different from mine and that’s fine. Just like with people, every picture is different and that’s what makes it special.
