You may find it easier to follow the step-by-step drawings below the video. The new lines in each step are shown in red, so you'll know exactly what to draw next. You may want to open the video in a new tab and use both drawing methods. Take your time and draw at your own pace.
The Written step-by-step video tutorial:
For the first few steps, don't press down too hard with your pencil. Use light, smooth strokes to begin.
Step 1: Draw a half circle as a guide for the top of the Tyrannosaurus rex's head. First draw a sloping line, and then add an arc at the top. The half-circle should be a bit thin.
Step 2: Under the head, near the right side, draw a curved line. This line, which looks similar to the letter U, is a guide for the T. rex's lower jaw.
Step 3: To the right of the head, draw a big circle as a guide for the T. rex's body. First make four small marks to indicate its height and width. Then connect the marks using curved lines. If you're struggling to draw the circle, trace the outer rim of a coin, a small lid, or any other object with a circular edge. Pay attention to the size of this circle in relation to the head. For a more detailed guide on the different ways to draw a circle check out this tutorial: Four simple ways to draw a circle. Add a couple of lines on the left for the neck.
Step 4: To the right of the body, draw a long oval as a guide for the top part of the leg. Make two marks to indicate the height of the oval. Then connect the marks using curved lines. Under the oval, draw a small, U-shaped line for the middle section of the leg. At the bottom, draw a triangular shape as a guide for the T. rex's foot.
Step 5: Under the neck, draw two U-shaped lines on top of each other as guides for the top part of the Tyrannosaurus rex's other leg. At the bottom, draw another triangular shape for the other foot. This shape should stretch toward the left side.
