11. Cute Dinosaur Holding a Pretty Flower
Here we have a simple drawing of another happy, cute dinosaur. This guy is holding a beautiful flower up to his chin and two cute dino teeth are showing too!
He looks like he may have been strolling through a meadow as you can spot some grass or plants next to his cute little feet.
The drawing is in a simple, aesthetic style and you are sure to enjoy trying your hand at this one.
12. Parasaurolophus with a Long, Curved Crest on its Head
Here’s a Parasaurolophus (a particular type of dinosaur!) who looks like he is thinking about something – or even contemplating!
He is quite a big tall guy with medium size legs and short arms. He has a sharp horn on his head and a jagged crest on his back.
13. Small Ankylosaurus With a Round, Armored Body
Here we have a slightly more challenging drawing idea – or maybe not, depending on your skill level! Most of our art fans here will be beginners I’m sure, but either way – this is a nice one to try if you want to take things up a notch!
This Ankylosaurus has a very sturdy, armored body. It’s very bulky and round and you can imagine how he might be a formidable foe to other dinosaurs and wild animals! That armor alone is bound to frighten off would-be attackers! He has a clubbed tail and his head is small and slightly pointed.
14. A Small Cute Dinosaur Looking Puzzled
Things are getting cuter! Here we go with a small baby dinosaur gazing off to the right, looking somewhat puzzled, somewhat mystified! Maybe he is wondering where his friends have gone, or his mammy and daddy.
That said, he looks like he is a nice place as there is some grass to his left and to his right, so he might be in a beautiful meadow – or on the outskirts of a mighty jungle!
15. A Small Cute Dinosaur Looking Puzzled
Oh, we love this one! Maybe we saved the best for last? (Unless we add more dinos of course – let us know if we should). This is an almighty, fearsome T-Rex – the most famous of all the dinosaurs! He looks ready to go, teeth showing and all set to take flight on a lovely sunny day.
The clouds are also in the sky and you can see mountains in the background. He may fly over them! Of course, it also looks like he is already on another mountain, or at least up on a height. That makes sense of course, as he may want to soar to even greater heights.
We would love to see how your drawings take shape here, so do let us know if you try this one!
