Introduction: Drawing Dinosaurs

This book is a beginning guide to help you begin drawing dinosaurs and it contains several examples to follow. The steps are designed in a way that can be applied to either digital drawing (drawing on a tablet) or traditionally (drawing on a paper). Although this book is for drawing dinosaurs, the process of creating the figures and applying colors in them can be applied to many other things you may like to draw. During the process, you will learn how to use different lines and how to apply different color tones to your drawing instead of simply filling them with one color tone. The tutorials will begin with an easy example carefully explained, and then gradually increase in difficulty along the way.

Introduction: Drawing Dinosaurs

This book is a beginning guide to help you begin drawing dinosaurs and it contains several examples to follow. The steps are designed in a way that can be applied to either digital drawing (drawing on a tablet) or traditionally (drawing on a paper). Although this book is for drawing dinosaurs, the process of creating the figures and applying colors in them can be applied to many other things you may like to draw. During the process, you will learn how to use different lines and how to apply different color tones to your drawing instead of simply filling them with one color tone. The tutorials will begin with an easy example carefully explained, and then gradually increase in difficulty along the way.

Begin by creating a base for easily creating a proportionate form of your dinosaur and move through the inking process and then coloring. Learn how to apply simple details without the confusion of what to do next.

This book also includes a small amount of information about the dinosaurs given as examples. Familiarize yourself with different dinosaurs and know a bit about them while learning how to draw them.

Drawing Tools

Pencils

The ‘H’ engraved near the pencil’s tip (side of eraser) stands for hardness and it ranges from 2H to 9H. A pencil with only an H mark and doesn’t have a number means 1H. The most common type (the one available anywhere) of pencil that does not indicate its grade mark is usually a 2H pencil. The B marking of pencils stand for blackness, this means that they can easily produce darker line marks and are softer than H pencils. It ranges from HB (hard and dark) to 9B (very soft and very dark), so when it comes to B pencils, the higher the number is; the softer and darker it becomes. Different brands have different softness, hardness and blackness levels, so if you are going to use a certain brand for the first time, you should try them out first before applying it on your main drawing.

Charcoal pencils also come in different grades. The generic grades of soft, medium and hard are available in different brands. Charcoal pencils are a bit messy to work with; even the ‘hard’ grade charcoal pencil is still relatively softer compared to those with 4B to 6B grade pencils.

Mechanical pencils are good for small and subtle detailing that requires very thin lines, instead of sharpening your pencil several times just to have a thin and constant fine point that you need. Different grades of lead or graphite is also available for refilling your mechanical pencil.

Erasers

Good quality erasers are essential if you are going to use a pencil for drawing. Choose a rubber eraser that is soft and not the ones that leave a faint color or worst is a scratch on the paper. Keep them on a pencil case or anything that can protect it from being
