How to Draw a T-Rex Skull
Draw a T-rex skull in 10 easy steps, about 8 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 skull.
Step 1: The skull
In the top half draw a big skull: blunt nose on the left, flat top, round back, flat jaw line.
Tip A skull is a bony head: a T. rex head with the skin off.
Step 2: Eye hole
Near the back of the skull, above the middle, draw a big egg-shaped eye hole, narrower at the bottom.
Step 3: Two more holes
Near the nose draw a small nostril. Between it and the eye hole draw a big rounded triangle hole.
Step 4: Top teeth
Start on the top jaw near the nose. Zigzag teeth down, smaller at the back, stopping under the eye hole.
Step 5: Bottom jaw
From the back corner draw the bottom jaw down to a blunt chin, and back. Add a round hinge knob.
Tip The jaw hangs open from its hinge, under the eye hole.
Step 6: Bottom teeth
Start on the front of the bottom jaw. Zigzag 3 teeth up, stopping on the edge. Leave a gap above.
Tip They must not touch the top teeth.
Step 7: Cracks
Zigzag a small crack down from the top of the skull, and another up from the bottom of the jaw.
Step 8: Ground and pebbles
Draw a ground line under the jaw, stopping short of the edges. Add 3 small pebbles.
Step 9: Sand bone, white teeth
Go over your lines. Colour the skull and the jaw sand, leaving the holes and the teeth white.
Step 10: Grey pebbles, black holes
Colour the pebbles light grey. Then colour the eye hole, the nostril and the triangle hole black.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a T-rex skull, drawn by you.
