How to draw a kid in a dinosaur costume step by step
How to Draw a Kid in a Dinosaur Costume · 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: Round lower face
Draw a curve like a bowl for the bottom of the face. Start high on the left side, curve down around the bottom, and end high on the right side, leaving the top open.
Step 3: Dino hood
Draw a curved dome over the top of the face, like a round hat, with a small gap at the top. Then draw a zigzag line across the face where the hood meets it, like a row of little teeth.
Step 4: Bumpy hood eyes
Draw a small circle on top of the hood on each side. Put a tiny dot inside each one.
Step 5: Smiling face
Add two small dots for eyes in the middle of the face. Then draw a little curved smile below them.
Step 6: Round tummy
Draw a curved line like a bowl below the head to make the bottom of a round tummy. Start just under the chin on one side and end under the chin on the other.
Step 7: Arms and claws
Draw a long skinny oval on each side of the tummy for the arms. Add a small circle above each arm for a hand, with two little lines poking up for claws.
Step 8: Feet
Draw two short lines down from the bottom of the tummy. Finish each one with a wide, flat oval for a foot, side by side.
Step 9: Spiky tail
Draw a curved tail like a banana shape poking out from the side of the tummy. Add a few small pointy triangles along the top for spikes.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a kid in a dinosaur costume
- Draw the zigzag on the hood slowly, with points that are about the same size. Light pencil marks first can help you keep them even.
- The arms are skinny ovals that tuck in beside the tummy. Start them just under the hands so they do not drift away from the body.
- Draw the tail last and let it start from the side of the tummy. The spikes are small triangles, so keep them tiny and pointed.
