When it comes to Plesiosaur, many veteran dinosaur enthusiasts must be familiar with it. The Plesiosaur was a large and powerful dinosaur that lived mainly in the oceans and was the king of the oceans, ruling the Mesozoic oceans along with the ichthyosaurs.

Plesiosaur fossils were first discovered in 1823 in Lyme Regis, Dorset, England by Mary Anning, a British scientist known as the "fossil hunter". Because of its carnivorous nature and the shape of its head, Plesiosaur has long been considered the prototype of the Loch Ness Monster!

It was once thought that Plesiosaur fed mainly on fish and squid in the ocean. In fact, clams, crabs and other shellfish were found in the fossilized stomach of Plesiosaur, proving that Plesiosaur could also use its long neck to reach out to the seafloor in search of various kinds of food.

The Plesiosaur's neck is extremely elongated, resembling a snake, and its finned feet are like four very large rowing oars, which make the body move forward, backward, and turn with great agility.

For today's drawing tutorial, we're going to try to draw a Plesiosaur, whose body looks a bit like a giraffe, but whose head looks a bit like a snake, which makes it easy to recognize.
