In this drawing lesson, I have prepared for you an instruction on how to draw a T-Rex step by step. Others, like Caudipteryx and Microraptor, had feathers.This is another useful and exciting drawing lesson in which I would like to tell you how to draw a T-Rex easy step by step. Some, including Sinosauropteryx, had a fluffy covering over part of their body. All the small, meat-eating dinosaurs found there show more than just scales on their outsides.

They have lots of detail on them, because the fossils sank into fine-grained mud. Some of the best fossils have been found in China. We know that dinosaurs had scales like those on crocodile legs, with lots of bumps of different sizes. Occasionally a fossil shows what kind of skin a dinosaur had. We also know that dinosaurs had the same basic body plan as modern birds, crocodiles and lizards. Rough patches on fossil bones sometimes show where the muscles attached. Step 2: Next come the musclesĪdding muscles helps give the dinosaur a more realistic shape. And if the left leg bones are missing, for example, a mirror image of the right leg is a good substitute. The more bones there are, the more accurate the reconstruction will be.Ĭomparing the skeletons of closely related dinosaurs can help fill in gaps. They fit the bones together in the right positions in their drawing with the help of dinosaur experts.Ĭomplete skeletons are rare, so it's like putting together a jigsaw that has missing and broken pieces. To work out what a dinosaur looked like, palaeoartists start with the fossils that have been found. Finish the bottom of the foot with another backwards 'C' and a horizontal line. For the back of the leg, draw a short 'C' at the top of the other side of the zigzag, then a wide 'C' down to the next corner of the zigzag. Follow the zigzag down to add the bottom part of the leg, and add toes at the rectangle.ħ. Add a small 'C' at the corner of the zigzag. Start by drawing a backwards 'C' inside the circle. Using the zigzag and rectangle as a guide, draw a leg and foot. Add a curvy mouth, with matching top and bottom lines.Ħ. For the head, use the rectangle as a guide but round the corners, add a bump above where the eye will be and leave a gap for the mouth.ĥ.

Draw another curved line that slightly dips down the other side of the circle and then goes up towards the rectangle.Ĥ. Starting at the tip of the triangle, draw a slightly wavy line along one side of the triangle and up the circle.

At the bottom add a small rectangle.ģ. Use the thicker pen to outline your T. Draw a zigzag line, starting near the centre of the circle. You might find it helpful to use our shapes template PDF (189KB) as a guide.Ģ. In pencil, draw a triangle, a circle and a rectangle.
