- Add four small ovals for the legs of the dinosaur.
- Create further four ovals for the feet.
- Join the head with curved lines as shown and two straight lines meeting at a point for the tail. Also make a small box for joining one of the forelegs.
- Pierce 7 straight lines on the spine for the bony plates of the dino.
- On the basis of the guidelines draw the details.
- Erase all guidelines.
- Color the cartoon stegosaurus.
Method Two: T-Rex
- Draw a modest circle.
- Overlap it with another smaller sized circle.
- On the left of the circles create an anti-clockwise rotated ‘V’ for the opened mouth.
- Join the V to the circles with lines as shown.
- Join another line inside the mouth of the V.
- Create another slanted horizontal oval for the tail.
- Make a small oval overlapping the bigger circle and a vertical oval within the smaller circle for the forelegs’ thighs.
- Add overlapping ovals for the legs’ lower part.
- Create more overlapping ovals for the hind legs’ thighs.
- Overlap those with more ovals for the lower part of the legs.
- Draw straight lines for the digits as shown.
- Draw every detail of the dino.
- Erase all unnecessary guidelines.
- Color the tyrannosaurus rex.
Method Three: Pterodactyl
- Start by sketching a skeleton of your dinosaur. Draw a curved cross as shown.
- Add in 2 triangles for the beak, a circle for the head, and an oval for the crown.
- Sketch in a neck and thin body, using ovals. Add in feet and a very small tail.
- Sketch in a curved triangle for the wings and don't forget to add a hand with small fingers.
- Outline your drawing and add in details; erase guidelines.
- Color it up and you're done! You've just drawn your very own pterodactyl!
Method Four: A Raptor
- Draw two ovals for the head and body of the raptor.
- Draw a curve on the upper oval for the snout.
- Draw curves connecting the head and body, and make the tail.
- Draw a series of connecting ovals for the hands and add lines for the claws.
- Draw another set of larger ovals for the legs.
- Draw semi trapezoids for the feet and add sharp curves for the claws.
- Draw a jagged line for the mouth and an oval for the eye.
- Based on the outline, draw the raptor.

- Draw an oval for the triceratops frills.
- Draw another oval attached to semi-trapezoid for the head.
