Step 2: Choose Your Dinosaur

Now it's time to decide which dinosaur you want to draw. There are many different species to choose from, including the well-known T-Rex, Triceratops, and Stegosaurus. Do a quick online search or flip through a dinosaur book to find a picture of your chosen dinosaur for reference. Taking a reference image will help you understand the dinosaur's body structure, proportions, and unique features.

Having a dinosaur reference image makes the drawing process easier.

Step 3: Start with Basic Shapes

Begin by lightly sketching basic shapes to create the dinosaur's body. Use circles, ovals, and triangles to outline the head, body, and limbs. This step will help you establish the overall proportions of the dinosaur.

Sketching basic shapes helps in setting the proportions of the dinosaur.

Step 4: Add Details and Features

Once you are satisfied with the overall shape, start adding details and features to your dinosaur. Add eyes, mouth, limbs, and tail. Study the reference image closely and try to capture the unique characteristics of the dinosaur. Don't worry about mistakes at this stage; they can always be erased or corrected later.

Adding details brings your dinosaur drawing to life.

Step 5: Refine Your Drawing

Now it's time to refine your drawing. Carefully go over the lines, making them bold and distinct. Erase any unnecessary guidelines or stray marks. Make sure the proportions and shapes look accurate, adjusting as needed. Once you are happy with your refined drawing, you can move on to the next step – coloring!

: Drawing Dinosaurs

This book is a beginning guide to help you begin drawing dinosaurs and it contains several examples to follow. The steps are designed in a way that can be applied to either digital drawing (drawing on a tablet) or traditionally (drawing on a paper). Although this book is for drawing dinosaurs, the process of creating the figures and applying colors in them can be applied to many other things you may like to draw. During the process, you will learn how to use different lines and how to apply different color tones to your drawing instead of simply filling them with one color tone. The tutorials will begin with an easy example carefully explained, and then gradually increase in difficulty along the way.
