How to draw a baby dinosaur hatching from an egg step by step
How to Draw a Baby Dinosaur Hatching From an Egg · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch these 2 ovals. They only show where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase them at the end.
Step 2: The head
Draw a big wide oval for the head. On top, draw a small wavy crown with three little points.
Step 3: Face and body
Draw two dots for eyes and a little curved smile between them. Then draw two short slanted lines going down from the bottom of the head to start the body.
Step 4: The little hands
At the bottom of each body line, draw a small rounded loop that sticks out to the side, like a tiny mitten.
Step 5: A small ring
Down on the right, draw a small circle. Then draw an even tinier circle inside it to make a ring.
Step 6: The zigzag crack
Connect the bottoms of the two body lines with a zigzag line of mountains and valleys. This is the cracked edge of the egg.
Step 7: The tail
On the right, draw a curved line that sweeps up to a point. Then curve a second line back to the start to close the tail shape.
Step 8: The eggshell
Draw a big bowl shape below the body, curved like a smile, with a pointy spike at each top corner. Add three more rings on the shell: one big, one medium and one very small.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a baby dinosaur hatching from an egg
- Sketch the head as a light oval first, so the crown sits nicely on top and the face stays centered.
- The zigzag crack is the trickiest part. Make light dots for the peaks and valleys first, then connect them with straight lines.
- Draw the bowl-shaped shell last, and make the rings different sizes so the egg looks playful.

Questions about drawing a baby dinosaur hatching from an egg
