Creative Ways To Draw Jurassic World Dinosaurs
The Jurassic period was a time when dinosaurs roamed the land, and now you can connect to that ancient age with your very own dinosaur drawings. Drawing dinosaurs has never been easier, and with a few creative tips, you can achieve amazing results.
The key to drawing realistic-looking dinosaurs is to really capture the essence of these majestic creatures. Outline their sharp skeletal structure, remembering to make their beaks, teeth and claws look as menacing as possible, as if they could take a bite out of any unsuspecting creature. And don’t forget to pay attention to all the details like the bumps, spikes, and rippling ridges on their skin.
Bring your drawings to life with bold, dynamic lines. Give your dinosaurs plenty of attitude with a fierce scowl and vicious tail. Work the shadows and highlights to bring out their fierce nature – you can even add texture to the fossilized bodies for an extra touch of realism.
To make your drawing look truly authentic, start by giving your dinosaur plenty of unique characteristics. Infuse these qualities into your drawings through exaggerated proportions and size, posture, and expression. Go wild with color, giving your drawing an electrifying and vibrant feel.
Making your drawings feel alive can be done by adding an adrenaline-packed element of surprise. No one knows what really happened to the dinosaurs so feel free to unleash your imagination, perhaps they are attacking each other, or they’ve created a nest and are protecting their eggs. Let your imagination take flight and have your dinosaurs do something unexpected!
With a few creative tips and the right materials, you can start making some amazing dinosaur drawings. Load up your imagination and prepare to travel back in time to the Jurassic Age, where you can reclaim these majestic creatures in all their glory.
Add Texture
Texture can really make your drawing stand out and give your dinosaurs a more lifelike feel. Add texture to the shadows and highlights to bring out the details of their skin and make them look rugged and fierce. You could use a textured paper, blend in charcoal or use paints to create the texture.
Drawing the textures on top of lightly drawn lines will make it look more realistic. Choose shapes and marks that feel right and draw with bold strokes. Then add shading to give your work a more impressive feel.
Create Interesting Movement
The way you draw movement can help bring out the personalities of your dinosaurs. Your creatures can look battle-ready with an aggressive stance and explosive movement, or they can be calm and relaxed, with slow blinking eyes.
Sketching out the dinosaurs’ skeletons first can make finding interesting positions easier. Notice how the dinosaurs move and act in movies and cartoons – use that as inspiration for your drawings, or test out a few unique poses for yourself. From the smooth sway of their long tails, to their claws gripping the ground – capturing realistic movement will take your drawings to the next level.
Curate the Details
Capturing all of the details that make a dinosaur so special is a key part of any dinosaur drawing. As an artist, you can add a personal touch to any dinosaur you draw and create a unique creature. Pay attention to the shape and size of their eyes, the shape of their beaks and the length of their bodies.
You could also give your dinosaurs some props like a spear or club. Make the details more realistic by adding a few stains and some dirt. Make the dinosaurs look like they were plucked right from the Jurassic period and brought to life.
Sketch a Chapter in History
The Jurassic period was a time when dinosaurs roamed Earth and you can tell their story through your drawings. When your dinosaurs emerge from the page, make it seem like they’ve survived hundreds of million years by giving them an epic and mysterious look.
Use curve and patterned lines to create a prehistoric feel to your drawing. Add little details like trees, and maybe even a volcano to let your skilful imagination wander through the ages. Drawings of dinosaurs in their natural habitat will live your work with an inspirational glow.
