How to draw Ankylosaurus with this how-to video and step-by-step drawing instructions. Easy animals to draw for beginners and kids.
Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below
You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1.
Draw head and body
Draw a large oval for the body and a smaller circle for the head.
Right now, it looks like a giant egg, but we’ll fix that. We will add the tail and footer on the next page.
Step 2.
Add tail and legs
Add a thick and curved shape like pasta for the tail. Draw another rounded triangle to form the club at the end of the tail. Place two more shapes as shown to form the legs behind the body.
Step 3.
Draw legs
The proximal legs of Ankylosaurus were formed by drawing one upper leg and one lower leg. These shapes will overlap slightly, as seen on the mesh. Make the bottom shapes bulge out at the bottom to form the feet.
Our dinosaur is starting to take shape. We will add spikes and claws on the next page.
Step 4.
Extra Thorns and Claws
Draw four teardrop shapes on each paw for claws. Add more tears along the tail for spikes.
Step 5.
Added face and armor
Draw triangles along the side of the body to begin forming the upper armor. Add more triangles on top for spikes. Split head to separate mouth and lower jaw. Draw circles for the eyes and eye sockets. Place a teardrop shape near the front of the face to make the nostrils.
Step 6.
More armor
Draw curves on the back and head of Ankylosaurus. This provides a grid to show how the armor spikes are arranged.
This dinosaur needs more armor! We will continue our work on the next page.
Step 7.
Draw spikes on armor
Draw the armor spikes by following the instructions of the grid. Add detailed lines on legs, belly and tail.
Step 8.
Add the final touches
Trace the pencil lines you want to keep with a marker and erase any excess. Ankylosaurus is now ready to color.
Your dinosaur is done! Even if you don’t get it right the first time, keep practicing until you’re satisfied with your drawing.
