Free course: How to draw a character
Six steps, one pencil, about ten 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 wide oval, much wider than it is tall. Wobbly is fine.
Draw a round claw high up on each side. Cut a V into the top so it can pinch.
Join each claw to the shell with a bent arm, like an elbow sticking out.
Three curvy legs on each side, bending down to the sand.
Two short stalks up from the shell with a dot eye on each, then a big smile.
A few spots on the shell, and two little bubbles floating up. Now this crab is yours.
Now draw a crab who found a very strange new shell.
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.
