Drawing Stegosaurus - Armor Plates

S. Encarnacion, licensed to About.com, Inc.
His big armor plates look like the same round diamond but with the bottom cut off of it. This dino has nine plates on each side. The first and last plates are the smallest, and the middle plates are the largest. In this step we will draw the first three plates on each side. Notice the way the perspective stretches the original plate shape. Also notice the outlines that give it a 3D shape.
