So, I have prepared for you a fascinating and very useful drawing lesson in which I will tell and show you how to draw a dinosaur for beginners. I developed this lesson especially for beginner artists and children, so that each of you can draw a simple dinosaur, even if you still have very little drawing experience.
I think many of you are interested in the study of dinosaurs, and you have probably seen dinosaurs in various films, cartoons, books or video games. “Dinosaur” is translated from Greek as “terrible lizard”. Dinosaurs lived 240 million years ago during the Mesozoic era and lasted over 160 million years.
Some dinosaurs were the size of a chicken, others were the size of a five-story building. They had scaly skin and laid shelled eggs. Dinosaurs walked the earth on two or four legs. There were over 1,000 different types of dinosaurs in existence. Some had horns and crests, others had spikes and razor-sharp claws.
The simple dinosaur that you will draw with these instructions will look very cute and funny. This dinosaur is depicted in a cartoon style, and it also looks like a baby dinosaur. To start this drawing lesson, you need to prepare your art supplies and then follow my recommendations in this tutorial. I am sure that you will easily cope with this work, and also enjoy drawing.
