To draw an easy dinosaur, you can follow these simple steps based on a popular method for drawing a cartoon T. rex:

1. Start by sketching basic shapes: a triangle for the tail, a circle for the body, and a rectangle for the head.
2. Draw a zigzag line starting near the center of the circle to form the dinosaur’s back and add a small rectangle at the bottom for the foot.
3. Outline the dinosaur’s back by drawing a wavy line along the triangle and circle shapes.
4. Shape the head by rounding the rectangle’s corners and adding a bump above where the eye will be, leaving a gap for the mouth.
5. Draw a curvy mouth with matching top and bottom lines.
6. Use the zigzag and rectangle as guides to draw legs and feet with curved lines and toes.
7. Add the belly by drawing a curved line around the circle.
8. Sketch small arms with curved lines and add fingers.
9. Draw a neck line connecting the head and body.
10. Add a second arm and leg on the other side.
11. Erase unnecessary pencil lines.
12. Add details like eyes, nostrils, teeth, claws, and any patterns or markings.
13. Finally, color your dinosaur as you like.

This approach simplifies the dinosaur into easy shapes and lines, making it accessible for beginners and children
