My friends and I started a clothing brand in High School. We created stickers, shirts, and hats with great success. We no longer create any products... so i can share the secret strategy of how to draw our namesake and inspiration, Nigel the Dinosaur.

Supplies

  1. You can use any sort of drawing utensils of you choosing
  2. Here are some example:
  3. Paper and Pencil
  4. Paper and Pen
  5. Paper and Marker
  6. Canvas and Paintbrush
  7. Ipad and Apple Pencil (will be used in this instructable)

Draw Nigel's Eyes

Basically two circles. Don't try to make perfect circles because we want to achieve a cartoony effect.

Draw Nigel's Mouth

Hwy-1 2.jpg

Just a semi straight line starting from the left most portion of Nigel's left eye.

Draw Nigel's Nose

I lied, it is not really a nose. Its just how we connect Nigel's mouth to his eyes. Please follow the included picture.

The Hard Part

This is where your years of art training come in to play. This is easily the most challenging part of the entire drawing. Start from the middle of Nigel's left eye and start drawing a half circle to form his head. Then when you are completed with the half circle you draw straight down to create his neck.

Nom Nom

Nigel's hungry. Draw his teeth as pictured.

Almost There

Draw his neck starting from between his two teeth. Notice how Nigel has a gullet.

Finishing Touches

Even Nigel has, hair and pupils.
