While some dinosaurs have a reputation for being fearsome and frightening, there are plenty that are cute and sweet – and we can prove it in just a few short, simple steps. Let’s get started!

Step-By-Step Images and Instructions
1.
Start by grabbing a black pen, and drawing a triangle at the top of your page, angling this at around 45 degrees.
2.
Bring a curved line across from the left of this and curve this down and across.
3.
From the bottom of this, take a line down towards the bottom left-hand corner of the page. At the bottom, take this across to the left.
4.
Now, bring a line across from the right of the top triangle, and take this down, adding a “bump” to the bottom.
5.
Now, take a line across the bottom, adding two wide “bumps”.
6.
Add two half-circle shapes to the face…
7.
Add curved lines to the top corners of these shapes…
8.
And then add a curved line to the top of each, pointing towards the top right-hand corner of the page. Then, add two curved lines above the eyes.
9.
Below this, add a curved “w” shape, and then add two “teardrop” shapes, one on either side of the “w”.
10.
Now, bring a line across from the left side, and take this down, across, and then curved down and back to the left, creating an arm.
11.
Now, bring down a curved line from the bottom of the arm, and add another curved line to the end of this. Follow this with a longer curved line below this – level with the spot at which the back line starts curving towards the left.
12.
Now, take this back line to a point, and bring it across to the left, creating a tail.
13.
Add three small bumps to the end of the arm for claws…
14.
And then add another arm and set of claws to the other side. Bring two lines down from the bottom of these, creating the bottom of the heart.
15.
Now, add a circle to the end of the leg, and another to the right of this to create feet.
16.
Add three claws to each of the feet…
17.
And then add two smaller circles inside the feet. Connect the two feet with a curved line.
18.
Next, add a series of small hearts all around the outside of the body.
19.
Now, add a series of triangles all down the back and tail of the body, creating spikes.
20.
Use a green pen for the bottom of the eyes…
21.
And then use a light green pen for the rest of the body.
22.
Finally, grab a pink pen, and shade the heart that the dinosaur is holding, as well as those around the body, and the cheeks.
And voila – there is proof that not all dinosaurs are scary and mean; this one is super cute!
