How to Draw a Lobster
- Prepare baselines.
Using thin lines, depict the cephalothorax, the elongated oval belly and determine the position of the limbs.
- Add the claws.
Use a few smooth lines to define the size and location of the claws. Mark the places of the folds in the form of large dots.
- Outline the body of the lobster.
Focus on the auxiliary lines and carefully trace the lobster along the contour, giving it the desired shape. Draw the eyes, draw separate segments on the belly.
- Depict the mustache and tail.
Draw smooth lines from the head to the body to depict the thin mustache. With the help of several semicircular lines depict the tail.
- Sketch out the paws.
The Lobster legs consist of several segments connected in series. In this step, you have to give the paws the desired thickness.
- Draw the claws.
Give the claws the desired thickness and shape. Use curved and wavy lines to draw individual segments of the claw.
- Detail the surface.
Add small, curved lines at the base of the claws to represent the bumps. Draw thin lines on the cephalothorax.
- Correct inaccuracies.
The main outlines are ready, and you can carefully remove any extra lines on your drawing to prepare it for coloring.
- Color the drawing.
You will need different shades of red and orange. Use a darker shade for the spots on the lobster’s body and a lighter shade for the highlights.
