Here’s how to draw a Pterodactyl that features his wing span, which could be up to 30 feet wide. That’s much larger than any flying birds alive today.
This tutorial is designed to show off how the Pterodactyl’s wings looked when fully spread. If you learn how the arms were connected to the wings, then you can imagine what they might have once looked like, flying around in the sky.
Another unique dinosaur, the Pterodactyl took to the sky rather than stay on the ground. They are well known for their long beaks and odd head shape. Modern day birds are descendants of dinosaurs and I don’t think it’s too hard to see that when looking at the Pterodactyl.
