Brachiosaurus

This drawing shows the step-by-step process of depicting a Brachiosaurus — the dinosaur with the longest neck. These giants could reach a length of more than 25 meters, and their necks allowed them to reach foliage even from the tallest trees.

    STEP 1 / 8

    Step 1

    Draw the base: a small circle for the head, an elongated curved line for the neck, two large intersecting ovals for the torso, and a long curve for the tail.
