Step-by-Step: Drawing a Dinosaur Trex

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 Dinosaur Trex

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!
