First, draw the dinosaur’s head by drawing an open circle shape that rounds into the neck. Next, draw the dinosaur’s eyeball, nose, and mouth shape at the end of the open circle. Third, draw an open circle and round it off into a pointed tail shape for the backside. Finish drawing the tail and start drawing the bottom of the body along with two rectangular shapes for the feet. Finish rounding out the body by drawing the belly and finish the neck by connecting it to the head. Finalize your picture by coloring it green and drawing teeth.
Step-By-Step Cartoon Dinosaur Drawing Tutorial
- Start by drawing a large oval shape for the body.
- Draw a smaller oval shape for the head, attaching it to the larger oval shape.
- Sketch out the dinosaur’s legs by drawing four short, thick lines coming out of the bottom of the large oval. Make sure the lines are curved to form the shape of the legs.
- Next, draw the dinosaur’s tail by sketching a long, curved line coming out of the back of the large oval.
- Add details such as the dinosaur’s eyes, nose, and mouth by sketching small shapes on the head.
- Draw the dinosaur’s arms by sketching two short lines coming out of the top of the large oval, near the head.
- Add texture to the dinosaur’s skin by drawing small lines or dots all over the body.
- Finally, you can add the final details such as claws and spikes or any other characteristic that would add to the drawings of the specific type of dinosaur you would like to draw.
Tips For Drawing a Cartoon Dinosaur
While many dinosaurs have spikes or textured skin, create a rounded dinosaur to make it look like a cartoon. You can draw a round head, a smiling dinosaur, a round body, and a small curled tail. In addition, you can also just draw two rounded rectangles for the feet. You can choose whether or not you draw a small or large dinosaur, so you can have fun with the proportions. For example, you can make its legs long and skinny or its neck extra long. Additionally, add character to your cartoon dinosaur by giving it a big smile or adding some accessories, like a hat or a bowtie. This will help bring your cartoon dinosaur to life and make it unique.
