Draw it step by step

Six steps to a velociraptor

New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.

1

Start with the body

Draw a long oval lying on its side. Wobbly is fine — this is the body.

2

Add the head and neck

Draw a small head with a long snout pointing forward. Join it to the body with two lines for the neck.

3

Stretch out the tail

One long, pointy tail straight out the back. It helps your raptor balance when it runs.

4

Running legs and an arm

One leg reaches forward and one pushes back, each with a chunky thigh. Add a small arm with two claws.

5

Face and toe claws

One dot eye and a happy smile. Then a curved claw lifted up on top of each foot.

6

Add the feathers

Two feathers under the arm, and a little tuft on top of the head. Now this velociraptor is yours.

Now draw a velociraptor racing something surprising.
