How to draw a Crab

Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below


You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below

Step 1

First draw the body. The head is round. The lower part of the body has two small curves on either side, with a drop in between them.

Step 2

Then draw tiny eyes and two tiny antennas. They are all in the middle of the head.

Step 3

Now we draw the left front claw. There are three parts. The first part joins with the upper left part of the body and has a slightly triangular shape. Make sure you make two very pointed tips.

Step 4

Draw the other front claw on the other side of the head. Make it a mirror image of the left claw.

Step 5

Now we start painting the legs. The forelegs begin on the left side of the body. It has three long thin curves along the claw. It is much thinner than the claw.

Step 6

Next we add the front leg to the right. It has the same length with the other leg but has four long sections.

Step 7

Add another leg to the left, just below the first leg. Make it the same length and shape as the first leg.

Step 8

Draw another leg on the right. Make it the same size and angle as the first leg.

Step 9

The last left leg lies behind the other two legs. It has four segments and a downward curve.

Step 10

Add the last leg to the left side of the body. It also has four segments and points down.

Step 11

Color the crayon in red or brown so that it becomes more prominent
