How to Draw a Ceratosaurus

The goal is to complete a drawing of a ceratosaurus by drawing one section at a time. It will take 9 steps to complete as we continue to make each area which will get us closer to the finished drawing. The finished artwork will be perfected with color making it a drawing you will want to share with friends!

Time Needed: 30 minutes

1. Outline The Head

   

   Start by outlining the elongated shape of the ceratosaurus’ head. Form the V-shaped opening of its mouth.

   Now, draw the rounded shape of its body. Then, attach the long pointed shape of its tail.

3. Add The Face

9. Complete The Ceratosaurus Drawing

   

   Let’s complete the ceratosaurus drawing by adding color! First, fill the eye with a black crayon. Next, shade its horns and spines using a yellow crayon. Now, color the underbelly and teeth with a cream colored crayon. Then, use a red crayon to shade the ceratosaurus’ body. Finally, add striped patterns on the dinosaur’s body with a darker shade of red.
