How to draw a Parasaurolophus

Welcome to our kiddy can draw fun step by step drawing tutorial. Today we are going to draw a type of dinosaur that is called parasaurolophus.

Such a big name for our dinosaur. It is a vegetarian dinosaur that has a very stunning feature which is the crest on its head.

Scientists found out about the function of this crest after many predictions. They found out that it serves for communication allowing the animals to remain in contact over distance by amplifying their loud cries.

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

Step 1: The head

Draw half an oval shape for the head. Then draw eyes, a nose and a mouth.
