Add texture to the leg using small curved lines, and draw a line from the forearm to the knee to indicate the belly.

Learn More About The Tyrannosaurus Rex Drawing
The Tyrannosaurus rex, or T. rex for short, is among the most well known of the dinosaurs. The name Tyrannosaurus rex means "king of the tyrant lizards." T. rex is thought to have been either a predator or a scavenger. Scientists estimate that it lived from 150 to 65 million years ago, from the late Jurassic to the late Cretaceous periods.
Did you know? It is thought that T. rex had a lifespan of about 30 years and weighed as much as 15,000 pounds. Each of T. rex's 50 to 60 teeth were about the size of a banana.
