How to Draw a Stuffed Dinosaur
Draw a stuffed dinosaur in 13 easy steps, about 10 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 head.
Step 1: The head
Near the top draw a big head like an egg on its side. It is almost half the dinosaur.
Tip Fat round cheeks and a narrower chin, not a perfect circle.
Step 2: Three plates
On top of the head draw 3 round plates standing up like petals, the middle one tallest.
Step 3: Two big eyes
On the middle of the head draw 2 big round eyes, one eye apart. Add black dots with shines.
Step 4: A wide snout
Under the eyes draw a big wide oval snout poking past the chin. Add 2 nostril dots near its top.
Step 5: A big smile
Below the nostrils draw one wide U smile across the snout.
Step 6: Belly and tummy patch
Start under the left cheek. Draw a big pear body, stopping under the right cheek. Add an oval tummy patch.
Tip The body is narrower than the head, widest low down.
Step 7: Hugging arms
From under each cheek draw a sausage arm down the side, bending in to a mitten on the tummy patch.
Tip Rub out the patch line inside each mitten.
Step 8: Back legs and feet
On each side of the belly draw a round C leg. Under it draw a fat flat foot, toes out.
Tip The leg pokes out wider than the body; the foot is a flat loaf.
Step 9: Toes and ground
Draw 3 toe lines on each foot. Draw a long ground line under both feet, with room for the tail.
Step 10: A fat tail
Behind the right leg draw a fat tail curving down to a point on the ground. Add 2 round plates.
Step 11: A bow
Under the chin draw a bow: a round knot in the middle and a fat loop on each side.
Step 12: Light green parts
Go over your lines. Colour the plates, snout, tummy patch and feet light green.
Step 13: Green body, red bow
Colour the rest of the dinosaur green, around the light green and the bow. Colour the bow red.
Tip Leave the eyes white.
