Whether you're into science or science fiction, we've got the easy, step-by-step science drawing tutorials you need to explore the world or even the universe.
If you're struggling to find a topic for your next report or science fair project, we've got you covered. You can learn how to draw instructive diagrams - the solar system, a food web, or the water cycle, for example - to illustrate your report or even to prepare a poster.
These drawing guides are also great for homeschoolers or Montessori-style learning. If you want to learn about the human body, for instance, you can draw a diagram of the skull or spine, and study the muscles that cover them.
Or you can explore the exciting world of chemistry. Challenge yourself to alter the atom drawing to match each element of the periodic table.
You can also use these drawings to take good notes when you make observations or do experiments. Draw the thermometer to record and compare temperatures in a creative way. Or, draw the laboratory then color and label the chemicals to match those that you are using.
The possibilities are endless when you have science on your side. As Ms. Frizzle always said, "Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy!"
18 Easy Reptile Drawing Tutorials with Step by Step Drawings
Bearded Dragon Lizard
This realistic sketch will help you capture the likeness of your favorite pet. You will even be able to see the details of the spiky scales around the neck and belly.
Triceratops
The name triceratops means "three-horned head," and you can see this dinosaur's three triangular horns on its head. It also has a crest or frill on the back of its head, above the neck.
Cute Dinosaur
This adorable long-necked dinosaur might be a brachiosaurus, brontosaurus, or diplodocus. You will use long curved lines for its body and "U" shaped lines for its spikes and toenails.
Snake
This snake is poised in an "S" curve, ready to strike! You will use lots of overlapping curved lines to achieve this sketch.
Gecko
Gecko lizards are a favorite pet. Their special toes allow them to cling to ceilings and walls - and even to slippery glass windows!
Sea Turtle
Turtles have a head and flippers extending from beneath a protective shell. Land turtles can hide completely in their shells, but sea turtles cannot.
Snake Face and Head
This venomous snake has two curved triangular fangs. You can also see its "Y" shaped forked tongue. Its neck is bent; it is ready to strike!
Alligator or Crocodile
Do you know the differences between an alligator and a crocodile? Complete this sketch so you can figure them out.
Chameleon
Chameleon lizards can change color to blend in with their surroundings. But don't worry, this fun sketch isn't likely to disappear.
Tyrannosaurus Rex
The large, toothy T. rex was named "king of the tyrant lizards." It has a lizard-like body with large back legs, a huge head, and tiny arms.
Iguana
Can you see any similarities between this iguana and the T. rex above? They are there if you look closely.
Lizard
This generic lizard has all the reptilian features - a long tail, a low-slung body on four legs, and round scales.
Cobra
Cobras are unique among snakes. This snake has sharp, triangular fangs and a curving body like others on this list. But it also has a round hood on each side of the head.
Snake Head
You can draw a portrait of a snake, a close-up of its slit-pupil eye, scaly skin, and forked tongue.
Medusa
The Medusa is a reptilian monster from ancient mythology. In addition to her stony stare, she had writhing snakes attached to her head in place of her hair.
Rattlesnake
Like other snakes on this list, this rattlesnake is in an "S" curve, poised to strike. It also has a unique feature - its tail is raised to display its rattle, which gets longer every time it sheds its skin.
Dinosaur
This dinosaur is called a parasaurolophus. It stands on its rear legs like the T. rex, above, but it wasn't a meat eater. Instead, it ate plants with its duck-like bill. It has a horn on its head that it may have used to make sounds.
Velociraptor
Velociraptors were predatory dinosaurs much smaller than the T. Rex above. The two dinosaurs are shaped much the same, but the raptor has one defining feature - it has a huge teardrop-shaped claw on each foot.
