This tutorial covers how to draw Rex from Toy Story, the anxious green T-Rex who worries about being scary enough. Rex has been part of Andy’s toy collection since the first film, despite his constant self-doubt about his roar. His plastic dinosaur toy design with those tiny arms and big toothy grin makes him a fun character to sketch.
