How to Draw a Brachiosaurus

1. Begin the cartoon brachiosaurus outline by drawing the snout - a curved line doubled back on itself.

Enclose a teardrop-shaped eye, and shade a round pupil inside it. Draw a curved line above the eye to indicate the brow.

2. Draw curved lines overlapping the top and bottom of the snout. One forms the lower jaw, the other the nose and forehead. Shade a dot to indicate the nostril.

Draw a long curved line for the front of the neck. Connect it to the bottom of the head with a short curved line. Contour the back of the head with a short line.

3. Use a long curved line for the back of the neck, and others for the dinosaur's back, chest, and front of the leg.

4. Use a long curved line for the back of the leg. Connect the lines at the bottom by drawing overlapping, rounded triangle-shaped toes.

5. Use long curved lines to draw the front and back of the rear leg. Connect it to the front leg, using a curved line to draw the belly. Contour the shoulders with shorter lines.

6. Use long curved lines to draw the remaining front leg. Draw rounded triangle-shaped toes on the front and rear feet.

7. Use curved lines and triangle-shaped toes to draw the remaining rear leg.

8. Complete the outline by using two curved lines to draw the long tail. Contour the chest, belly, hip, and tail with curved lines.

9. Texture the neck and leg joints with short lines.

Your brachiosaurus outline is now complete. Color your cartoon dinosaur. Often, brachiosauruses are depicted as having scaly green, gray, or brown skin.

What color do you think they were? Were they multiple colors, or a solid color? The choice is yours.
