You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below

Step 1.

Draw the head, body and tail
Draw a large potato shape for the body. Add curves that meet at a point to make the tail. Add a shape for the head and another curve below the head for the lower jaw.

Step 2.

Adding Peaks and Horns
Complete the top shapes by adding horns: two long at the top of the head and one shorter at the tip of the snout. Connect the jaw to the body with a neckline. On the top of the head, draw a bumpy oval line for the crest.

Step 3.

Draw legs
Draw a fat pear shape for the shoulders and upper leg, an upside down egg shape for the lower leg, and a shape for the feet. Outline a larger egg shape for the thighs, a rounded rectangle below for the shins, and a shape for the feet.

Step 4.

Add face and legs
Draw a curve in front of the front foot for the lower front foot on the far side of the Triceratops and place a horizontal pear shape below it for the foot. Draw another line behind the hind leg for the shin and foot. Most of this leg will be hidden behind the torso and the legs are closer. Create a boomerang that overlaps the larger point for the eyebrow and draw an oval just below it for the eye. Add another oval below the front spike to make the nostrils. Draw two overlapping triangles at the end of the muzzle to make the beak. Complete the face with detailed lines around the mouth, nose and eyes.

Step 5.

More skin features
Draw a line from the top of the head to the top of the crest. Add some wavy lines around the edge of the vertex for more detail. Add lines in the legs and tail to show the muscles. The lines on the neck and abdomen will show the folds in the skin. Don’t forget to draw toenails on the feet.

Step 6.

Add the final touches
Draw on the pencil lines that you want to keep with a marker. Erase excess pencil lines and Triceratops is ready to color.
