Learn how to make an origami Velociraptor

This model and my origami T-Rex are very similar because I’ve created both dinosaurs from the same base. The velociraptor has longer tail/arms and smaller head.
I’m very satisfied with this model and I think it’s much better than the T-Rex: it holds the shape well and it can even stand on his feet without tail support, if you use a good paper. Another great feature is the head: you can make it flat or with a nice 3D shape!
If you like dinosaurs, check out my playlist on YouTube and try also the T-Rex and the Brachiosaurus.
Paper
In the video tutorial I’m using 20cm x 20cm Green Tissue-foil. This paper has a beautiful texture and holds the creases very well. However, special paper isn’t required and you can use even smaller sheets like 10cm x 10cm origami paper to fold this dinosaur.

Help video
There is one step to make the head (9:14) where people sometimes find difficult to make. All you need to do is a reverse fold using the existing creases, but there are so many folds at the same time that it can be confusing for beginners. If you got stuck in this step, watch this video:
