Learn how to draw a Triceratops in nine simple steps. My tutorial will help you figure out to draw his odd shaped body and where to place his three horns.

Drawing of a Triceratops dinosaur

Triceratops is a type of herbivorous dinosaur that first appeared during the Late Cretaceous period, about 68 million years ago in what is now North America. These beasts could grow up to almost 10 feet tall and weigh 13 tons! Their round bodies and short legs make them look a bit like a more fierce version of a modern day rhinoceros.

One of the most recognizable dinosaurs, the Triceratops is famous for their large fanned head along with their three menacing horns. The name 'Triceratops' comes from the Greek language, with 'tri' meaning three and 'ceratops' meaning horned face.

Parents and teachers might be happy to learn that children's love of dinosaurs might actually help them become better learners too.

"A 2008 study found that sustained intense interests, particularly in a conceptual domain like dinosaurs, can help children develop increased knowledge and persistence, a better attention span, and deeper information-processing skills." - www.sciencedirect.com

Triceratops Art

This tutorial will show students how to draw a Triceratops with a very strong and heavy body that sits low to the ground. Its distinctive head may look complicated at first glance, but breaking it down into steps will make it easier to see.

Older students may want to see if the extra set of guide lines (the dashed lines) help them plot their drawing a bit more. Most of my tutorials have one guide in each direction, but some animals that have a few more shapes to them have more. All your students have to do to make the guides on their paper is to fold the paper in half twice, in each direction, instead of once. Those extra creases will help them place their initial shapes more accurately, and end up with a nice big Triceratops that fills their drawing paper. In addition, they will disappear by the time the drawing is done and all colored in.

A certain hot dinosaur movie may be creating some interest in how to draw a velociraptor. Follow this step by step tutorial to draw a pretty cool looking one.

This guy is made from lots of curvy shapes, so I tried to keep this tutorial with as simple as possible, without losing any of his fierceness. After all, according to Jurassic Park, he's supposed to be the most intelligent of his species. He needs to keep that mean and lean look that he's famous for.

The velociraptor is one of the most well known dinosaurs thanks to films like Jurassic Park. These creatures were believed to hunt in packs like today's wild wolves. Their razor sharp teeth and quickness made them a predator to be reckoned with!

Below you'll find an easy step-by-step tutorial for how to draw a Diplodocus and a Diplodocus Coloring Page. He was once the world's longest animal.

Diplodocus Drawing

Learn how to draw a diplodocus, and still keep his head and tail on one sheet of paper, even if he once was the world's longest animal. Don't let the stubby legs fool you because this dinosaur was over 100 feet long.

That's longer than the largest mammal alive today; the blue whale. The diplodocus sure didn't have any issues finding its food in the tallest of trees. This gigantic creature walked the earth over 150 million years ago.

This tutorial takes a different point of view by having the diplodocus rather stacked with his head and tail wrapping around his body. The original drawing idea came from a site called "Hello Kids", I just added the extra drawing steps to my tutorial.

Learn how to draw a Rocket with this easy step by step tutorial. The simple shapes keep it easy for even the younger artists.

A rocket with a more old-fashioned look makes it easier for students of all ages learn how to draw one. Just mastering that curved body at an angle is tricky for some. If it helps, encourage students to rotate their paper a bit so they can draw their rocket straight going up and down.

Older students that are ready for an extra challenge may like to try shading the background from black to purple or blue. Sometimes even ordinary supplies, like crayons, can produce some pretty extraordinary results, when extra effort is given.

Whatever media they choose to use though, this is one drawing that that benefits from neat coloring. The darker the sky color, the brighter the rocket by contrast.
