How to Draw a Ceratosaurus
Draw a ceratosaurus in 14 easy steps, about 11 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: the big head.
Step 1: The big head
At the top left, draw a long head. Start at the back, round the flat snout, stop under the jaw.
Tip Leave the back of the head open, the neck grows out of it.
Step 2: Big eye
High near the back of the head, draw a big eye with a black dot and shine. Dot a nostril.
Step 3: Nose horn
Start on the snout. Draw a tall pointed horn and stop on the head line. Add a small brow bump.
Tip The brow bump sits on the head line, just above the eye.
Step 4: Back and heavy tail
Start behind the head. Draw down the back and along a thick tail. Come back under it and stop.
Tip The tail is fat at the body and thin at the tip.
Step 5: Back bumps
Draw 5 small round bumps along the back, from behind the head to the tail.
Tip Make the bumps a little smaller as they go down.
Step 6: Big happy grin
From the front of the snout, draw a long smile to the cheek. Add a sagging curve under it.
Step 7: Pointy teeth
Start on the smile near the front. Zigzag 5 pointy teeth along it and stop before the corner.
Step 8: Round chest
Start under the jaw. Draw a big C for the chest. Stop when it curls back under the tummy.
Step 9: Tiny arm
On the chest, draw a tiny arm reaching forward. Give it 2 little fingers.
Tip Rub out the bit of chest line inside the arm.
Step 10: Big front leg
From the end of the chest, draw a big round thigh and a short leg with 3 toes.
Step 11: Back leg and ground
Start behind the big thigh. Draw a back leg down to 3 toes and up to the tail.
Tip Then draw a long ground line under both feet.
Step 12: Tummy patch
Start on the chest under the jaw. Draw a rainbow curve over the arm and stop on the big thigh.
Step 13: Cream and pink
Colour the tummy, horns and bumps cream. Colour inside the mouth pink and leave the teeth white.
Step 14: Colour it red
Go over your lines. Colour the rest red, around the cream parts. Leave the eye white.
