How to Draw a Gallimimus
Draw a gallimimus 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: long snout head.
Step 1: Long snout head
Near the top left, draw a small egg lying on its side. Stretch the left end into a long snout.
Tip The snout is as long as the round part of the head.
Step 2: Smile and nostril
Start near the snout tip. Draw a long smile line back under the snout. Add a tiny nostril dot.
Step 3: One big eye
Behind the snout, draw a big round eye in the middle of the head. Add a black dot and shine.
Step 4: Long thin neck
From the chin and back of the head, draw 2 long lines curving down right. Stop where the body goes.
Tip Thin like a hose, a bit wider at the bottom.
Step 5: Body and tail
Start at the back neck line. Draw a round body and long pointy tail. Stop at the front neck line.
Tip The tail is as long as the body.
Step 6: Tummy line
Start on the chest. Draw a soft curve along the body. Stop under the tail.
Step 7: Little arm
On the chest, draw a short arm that bends at the elbow. Add 3 round fingers at the end.
Step 8: One long leg
On the body, draw an egg for the thigh. Draw a slim leg down from it with 3 toes.
Tip Fat at the top, thin at the ankle.
Step 9: Other leg
Behind the first leg, draw the second leg down from the tummy. Make it slim, with 3 toes.
Step 10: Ground and grass
Start at the left edge. Draw a ground line under the feet to the right edge. Add 2 grass tufts.
Step 11: Cream tummy
Colour the tummy cream, under the tummy line. Leave the leg white for now.
Step 12: Tan all over
Colour the rest tan, going around the tummy. Leave the eye white. Go over your lines.
