Free course: How to draw a character
Six steps, one pencil, about eight minutes. Watch the video, follow along on paper, then print the practice sheet and draw it again.
Watch it first
Draw it step by step
New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.
Draw a big circle near the top right. Wobbly is fine — wobbly circles make friendly caterpillars.
Draw five round bumps behind the head, each one a bit smaller. Stop each line where it meets the bump in front.
Two big dot eyes and a wide smile under them.
Two antennae with a dot on each end. Then one short leg under every bump.
Put one round dot on each big bump. The tiny tail bump stays plain.
Draw a long leaf under its feet with a line down the middle, and a little leaf with a bite out of it. Now this caterpillar is yours.
Now draw what this caterpillar turns into.
Practice on paper
Faint lines to trace, all six mini steps, and an empty box to draw your own. One page, works in black and white.
