How to draw Triceratops

Welcome to our kiddy can draw fun step by step drawing tutorial.

Today, we are going to draw a type of dinosaur called a triceratops. 

Triceratops are recognized with its 3 horns, the parrot-like beak and a large frill that could reach nearly one metre across.

The triceratops skull is one of the largest and most striking of any land animal.

Now, let's grab our pencils or markers and start drawing our cute triceratops.

Step 1: Front of the head and first horn

Starting near the top right part of the paper, draw a curved line going down to the right ending with the first pointy horn looking like a triangle with curved sides.

Step 2: The head

Join the top of this curved line and the first horn with a large incomplete circle to make the shape of a chubby half moon representing the frill at the back of the triceratops head.

Step 3: 2nd and 3rd horns, face features

Draw the 2nd and 3rd horns, one near the top of the head, and the other hidden behind it.

Draw an eye, nose, mouth with some cute teeth.

Draw some semi-circles on the inside of the back of the head to give some texture to the frill on his head.

Attached to the first leg, draw a "V" shape curved at the top to make the other leg, then join it with the tip of the tail previously drawn in step 4.
