How to Draw a Therizinosaurus

Step 1: Small beaky head

Near the top left draw a small head like an egg lying down. The thin end points left.

Tip Keep the head small and leave lots of room below.

Step 2: Big eye

Near the fat end draw a big oval eye with a black dot and shine. Dot a nostril.

Step 3: Beak and smile

Curve a line down the thin end for a beak. From its tip draw a smile, stop under the eye.

Tip No teeth: this dinosaur has a beak for eating leaves.

Step 4: Long neck and tail

Start behind the head. Draw a long neck, a round back and a fat tail. Stop under the bottom.

Step 5: Throat and pot belly

Start under the head. Draw down the neck and round a big pot belly. Stop under the belly.

Tip Rub out the head line inside the neck.

Step 6: Big front leg

Where the belly stops draw a round thigh like an egg. Draw a leg down from it to 3 toes.

Step 7: Tummy

Start at the back of the thigh. Draw one short saggy curve back and stop where the tail line ended.

Step 8: Back leg and ground

Start behind the thigh. Draw a back leg peeking out, down to 3 toes, and up to the tummy.

Tip Then draw a long ground line under both feet.

Step 9: Long arm

Start on the chest. Draw a bent arm that gets thinner, round a small hand, and stop on the chest.

Tip The arm bends down at the elbow.

Step 10: Three huge claws

From the hand draw 3 huge curved claws, spread out like a fan. Each one ends in a sharp point.

Tip These are the longest claws of any animal ever!

Step 11: Tummy patch

Start under the jaw. Draw a long curve down the neck and belly and stop on the thigh.

Step 12: Cream claws, tan tummy

Colour the 3 claws cream. Then colour the beak and the tummy patch tan.

Step 13: Colour it brown

Colour the head, neck, body, tail, legs and arm brown, around the beak, patch and claws. Leave the eye white.
