Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below
You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
For the first step of this dinosaur drawing tutorial, we’re going to start from scratch! Brontosaurus had a small, distinctive head, so we’ll start with that for this tutorial.
Using some curves you can draw the head as small as it appears in the reference image.
Pictures are there to help you, but if you find yourself messing around with shapes you can try using a pencil until you get the hang of it.
Step 2
Next, draw on the neck
The neck of a brontosaurus is probably its most striking feature, so we’ll draw that out for the next step.
To draw this, simply draw two curved lines down from the top of your dinosaur drawing.
The reference image should give you a good idea of the length and angle you should aim for in your drawing.
Step 3
Now let’s draw the back of the dinosaur
Now that you have the head and neck of your dinosaur drawing, you can paint the back for it!
This step will be easy, as you can use a curved upward and then downward swipe as shown in the image to create the dinosaur’s back.
Step 4
Next, draw at the tail
As you can see, your dinosaur is really starting to take shape! For this step we will add a nice long tail to your dinosaur drawing.
To do this, you can use a nice long line that bends itself at the end as shown in the picture. Maybe you can change the angle of the tail a bit to make it look like it’s wagging it like a dog!
Step 5
Now we add the legs and belly
Your dinosaur drawing needs some legs to stand on, so add some in this step! The brontosaurus’ legs were quite thick at the top and thinned as they went down.
For this step we will only add the pins closest to us and we will add the other two later.
Step 6
Next, draw the remaining two legs
For this shorter step, we will add more pins.
These are pretty easy to add, as it only requires two curves behind the leg that you drew so that the leg will appear as shown in the reference image.
You can also change the position of the legs a bit if you want to give your dinosaur a different pose!
You can even make it look like your dinosaur is walking if you change the position up a bit.
Step 7
Now you can draw more details on the face
For step 7 of this how to draw a dinosaur tutorial, you have a chance to get a little creative! To complete your dinosaur drawing, it just needs a nice face along with some finer line details.
You can copy these details as they appear in the reference image, but you can also change a few details if you want a unique look to your painting!
For example, you can change the facial expression of your own dinosaur drawing for an interesting variation. What details will you use for your dinosaur drawing?
Step 8
Now finish it with some color
Your dinosaur drawing is almost done and I’m sure it looks amazing! However, before it is completed, it needs another aspect.
