Dinosaur Pencil Drawings
Dinosaur drawings in pencil: a cartoon T. rex, a triceratops and a baby triceratops, a stegosaurus, an ankylosaurus, a parasaurolophus, a running raptor, a T. rex skeleton, a gliding pterodactyl, a baby dino in an egg and a mom dinosaur with her baby. They are clean black outlines on white, easy to copy into a sketchbook.
First sketch the big shapes with an HB pencil: an oval body, a round head and lines for the neck and tail. Then go over the outline, add the eyes, spikes or plates and erase the extra lines.

Questions and answers
What is the easiest dinosaur to draw in pencil?
The baby triceratops or the baby dino in an egg: they have round shapes and bold outlines. Next try the cartoon T. rex, and save the skeleton and the pterodactyl for later, since they have more small lines.
How do I draw a T. rex in pencil?
Start with a big boxy head and a tilted oval body. Add a thick tail, two strong back legs and tiny front arms. Draw the mouth and teeth last, once the proportions look right.
Which pencil is best for a dinosaur drawing?
A regular HB pencil is good for the sketch: its lines are light and easy to erase. For the final outline and the spots on the skin, use a soft 2B so the drawing looks crisp.
