Dinosaurs are always a favourite, and the number 7 makes a brilliant starting point for a long-necked one. The straight top of the 7 becomes the neck stretching up high, so you get that classic Brachiosaurus shape almost instantly.

🖍️ What You Need

  • Pencil and eraser
  • Black pen for outlines
  • Green and brown markers
  • A darker green for spots

How to Draw an Easy Dinosaur from the Number 7

  1. Write a large number 7 — the top line and the slanting stroke become the neck and back.
  2. Round the top into a head — a small rounded head at the end of the top line.
  3. Add a tiny eye and nostril — dinosaurs like this had small heads.
  4. Thicken the neck — draw a second line beside the 7’s stroke to give the long neck width.
  5. Draw the big body — a large rounded body at the base of the neck.
  6. Add four sturdy legs — thick tree-trunk legs to hold up the heavy body.
  7. Add a long tail — a tapering tail stretching out behind.
  8. Colour it in — green skin with darker spots and a lighter belly.
💡 Parikshet's Tip: Make the legs thick like tree trunks — a giant long-necked dinosaur needs chunky legs to look like it could carry its huge body.

🌟 Did You Know?

Long-necked dinosaurs like Brachiosaurus used their height to reach leaves at the tops of tall trees that other dinosaurs couldn’t reach — a bit like a giant prehistoric giraffe.

Features of a Long-Necked Dinosaur

  • Very long neck — for reaching high leaves.
  • Small head — tiny compared to the body.
  • Huge round body — to hold all the food it ate.
  • Thick pillar legs — strong enough to carry the weight.

🎯 Try This: a prehistoric scene

  1. Draw your long-necked dinosaur eating from a tall tree.
  2. Add a smaller dinosaur nearby.
  3. Draw a volcano in the background.
  4. Add some ferns and rocks on the ground.

Step-by-Step: Drawing a Drawing Number 7 Dinosaur

Step 1: Draw the Body

Draw a large rounded oval for the dinosaur's body, slightly tilted with the front end a little higher than the back.

Step 2: Add the Neck and Head

From the upper-front of the body, draw a curved neck going upward, then draw a small oval head at the top. The neck should curve gently like a snake.

Step 3: Draw the Tail

From the back of the body, draw a long pointed tail that curves slightly downward. The tail should taper from wide at the body to a sharp point at the tip.

Step 4: Add the Face

On the head, draw a large round eye with a small pupil dot. Draw the mouth as a curved line along the lower part of the head — add small triangular teeth along the top jaw.

Step 5: Draw the Legs

Add four thick legs beneath the body — two in the front and two in the back. Each leg should bend slightly at the knee and end in a wide foot with three claw toes.

Step 6: Add the Arms (if T-Rex)

For a T-Rex style dinosaur, draw two very short, small arms near the front of the body. They should look tiny compared to the rest of the body.

Step 7: Draw Spines or Plates

Along the top of the back from neck to tail, draw a row of triangular spines or diamond-shaped plates. For a Stegosaurus, make the plates large and alternating.

Step 8: Add Scale Texture

Draw a row of small curved lines or dot patterns along the neck, body, and tail to suggest scaly skin.

Colouring Your Drawing Number 7 Dinosaur

Use earthy greens, greys, or browns for realistic dinosaurs. For a fun look, use bright blue or purple! Add darker patches on the back and a lighter underside.

Tips from Parikshet

  • Dinosaurs' eyes are usually on the side of their head, not the front — that's what makes them look wild!
  • Make the legs extra thick and sturdy — dinosaurs were heavy!
  • Practice makes perfect — try drawing it again tomorrow!
