How to Draw a Parasaurolophus

Step 1: The head

Start at the back of the head, top left. Go over a dome, out to a duck bill, back under.

Tip A big fat bean lying down. The top slopes gently down to the bill.

Step 2: Big eye

Under the forehead draw a big oval eye with a black dot. Dot a nostril on the bill.

Step 3: Back and fat tail

Start high on the back of the head. Go along a fat tail, round the tip, back to the bottom.

Tip The tail lifts up and gets fatter toward the body.

Step 4: Head tube

From the head top, draw a banana tube out to a round end, and in where the back line starts.

Tip Rub out the head line inside it. It gets a little thinner toward its round end.

Step 5: Duck-bill smile

Start on the front of the bill. Draw a long smile back under the eye, curling up to the cheek.

Tip No teeth. It has a beak like a duck.

Step 6: Chest and tiny arm

From under the jaw, draw a C chest down to the hip. Add a tiny arm out from the chest.

Tip Rub out the neck line. Bend the arm at the elbow and give it 2 little fingers.

Step 7: Big front leg

Start at the chest end. Go down to 3 toes, up the shin, round a fat thigh to the start.

Tip The thigh is a fat drumstick. The toes stand on the ground.

Step 8: Tummy

Start at the back of the thigh. Draw a short saggy curve under the tummy, stopping where the tail ended.

Step 9: Back leg and ground

From behind the thigh, draw a back leg down to 3 toes and up to the tummy. Add the ground.

Step 10: Chest patch

Start under the jaw on the chest. Draw a long curve down inside the chest and stop on the thigh.

Step 11: Cream chest patch

Colour the chest patch cream.

Step 12: Colour it ginger

Colour the dinosaur ginger around the cream patch, and the head tube a darker ginger. Leave the eye white.
