Draw inverted 'U' shapes for the eyes and the nostrils.
STEP 3
Draw the mouth open with the tongue visible. Also, give shape to the dinosaur's eyes and nose, as shown.
STEP 4
Detail the dinosaur's face and erase the internal lines. Draw spiky teeth, pupils, and the cheek line just below the eye.
Drawing the Body
STEP 5
Draw two pebble-shaped rounds, not exactly circular. Refer to the illustration while drawing. Also, draw a raw structure for the tail, something similar to a 'half banana'.

Connect the pebbles as you look at the picture; use curves when connecting. Draw the thighs; one spherical, and the other an oval resembling an egg.
STEP 7
Draw the outline for the legs and feet.
STEP 8
Sketch the outline for the arms of the dinosaur; they are tiny and simple to draw. Don't forget to show its thumb raised.
STEP 9
Erase all unnecessary internal lines and make the figure look solid. You're almost done drawing it. Do the detailing as per the illustration. Draw finger and toe nails. Show the distinction between its belly and back with wavy lines, as drawn in the illustration.
STEP 10
When the sketching is completed, color the dinosaur using your favorite colors. In place of orange, you could also use colors like green, red, blue, and brown.
Lo!, your cartoon dinosaur is complete. If you wish, you can give it a forest background to make it look more picturesque. Also, you could make a dinosaur family by drawing a female and a kid.
