The first part is all dedicated to tyrannosaurs head, especially Tyrannosaurus's. With this tutorial I hope you will be able to make tyrannosaurs head, using this technique and changing it a little bit for each other tyrannosaur species head.
So, let's start it!
Step 1:

With the pencil draw an egg on your page. This is only a sketch, so you don't need to emphasize your lines. Keep them light, you will know why later ;).
Step 2:

Then divide the egg in four pieces, as showed in the picture. Please respect proportions, because this is a very important step.
Step 3:

Now make those curve lines, also, respect proportions.
Step 4:

Start to outline the upper jaw shape as showed. Those little lines can help you understand where to curve the shape.
Step 6:

Begin making the eye. Its size depends on you. But remember, a smaller eye will make it more terrifying! Also note its wrinkles.
Step 9:

Now outline the neck as showed. If you can, try to respect the proportions here too.
Step 11:

With the rubber delete all sketch lines as showed. If you did them light enough, you wont have trouble deleting them.
Step 12:

Here it is the last step. Here you can make some more details. But, if you feel it isn't done yet, skip to step 13.
Step 13, bonus:

Here you can shade it, for an awesome final result. But, if you think you can't do that yet and you want to keep it as it's already, there's no problem.
So, finally, this is the final result:
