Diphosaurus step-by-step drawing tutorial: step 1

1. Begin the dilophosaurus outline by drawing the dinosaur’s head. Use curved lines to trace the eye and the ridge above it.

Shade a small oval within the eye to indicate the pupil. Then, use overlapping curved lines to enclose the thin, boney crests on top of the head. Extend a line from the front of the crests to create the upper jaw.

Learn More About The Dilophosaurus Drawing

Would you like to draw a fearsome dilophosaurus? This easy, step-by-step dilophosaurus drawing tutorial is here to show you how.

This dilophosaurus is drawn in the style of Jurassic Park with a prominent neck frill.

There is no evidence that the real dilophosaurus had this feature. It was adopted from a real-life modern lizard called the frilled lizard.

Scroll down for a downloadable PDF of this tutorial.

Real dilophosaurus did have two crests on their heads, however. Their body shape was like that of other carnivorous dinosaurs, like the one in this velociraptor drawing.

They walked on two legs and had small arms like Tyrannosaurus. You can learn how to draw a T-rex here.
