How to Draw a Brachiosaurus
Draw a brachiosaurus in 12 easy steps, about 9 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: egg head.
Step 1: Egg head
Near the top left draw an egg on its side. Start at the bottom and stop short, leaving a gap.
Tip Leave lots of room below for the long neck and the big body.
Step 2: Eye and smile
Draw a big round eye with a black dot near the back. Add a nostril dot and a smile.
Step 3: Long neck
From the 2 ends of the gap draw 2 lines sloping down to the right, getting wider apart.
Tip The neck is about as long as 2 heads.
Step 4: Back and tail
From the top neck line draw the round back, down to a pointed tail, then back under it.
Step 5: Round tummy
From the front neck line draw the chest and a round tummy across to the tail.
Step 6: Front leg
Start under the chest. Draw a thick leg down to a round foot and back up. Add 2 toe lines.
Step 7: Back leg
Start under the hips. Draw a thick leg down to a round foot and back up. Add 2 toe lines.
Step 8: Far legs
Between the near legs draw 2 thinner legs. Start each on the tummy and stop at the leg beside it.
Tip The far legs hide behind the near ones, so you only see a strip.
Step 9: The ground
Draw a straight ground line under all 4 feet, from the left side to the right side.
Step 10: Back spots
On the back draw 3 small ovals in a row, sloping down toward the tail.
Step 11: Colour it green
Colour the head, neck, body, tail and 2 near legs light green, around the spots. Leave the eye white.
Step 12: Dark green parts
Colour the 2 far legs and the 3 spots dark green.
Tip Dark far legs look like they are in the shade.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a brachiosaurus, drawn by you.
