Let’s Draw a Funny Shrimp!
Today, we’re going to have fun drawing a cartoon shrimp! Get your drawing tools ready, and let’s dive in!
What You Need
Before we start, make sure you have these items:
- Drawing paper
- Markers or any drawing tools you like
Step 1: Draw the Shrimp’s Head
Begin by drawing a big circle for the shrimp’s head. Place it near the top left of your paper so you have room for the body.
Adding a Face
Let’s make the shrimp’s face:
- Draw a “W” shape in the middle of the circle for the mouth.
- For the eyes, draw two circles—one on each side of the head.
- Inside each eye, draw a smaller circle and leave it white for a shiny look. Color the bigger circles.
Step 2: Draw the Shrimp’s Body
Now, let’s draw the body:
- From the bottom of the head, draw a curve going down.
- For the top of the body, start at the top of the head and draw another curve down to meet the first line.
Adding Legs
Time to add some legs:
- Draw a big sideways “U” shape for the first leg, and do this five more times to make six legs.
Step 3: Draw the Tail
Let’s add a tail to our shrimp:
- Draw a large “U” shape from the top of the body to the outside.
- Add a smaller “U” shape behind it, and do the same on the other side.
Adding Texture
To make the shrimp look more real, add some texture:
- Draw a line down the middle of the body.
- Add curves that match the head shape to make it look 3D.
Step 4: Draw the Antennas
Don’t forget the antennas!
- Draw a curvy “S” shape starting from the top of the head, going up and down.
- Draw another similar shape next to it for the second antenna.
Step 5: Color Your Shrimp
Now for the fun part—coloring!
- Use pink markers to color your shrimp. Try using two shades: a regular pink for the body and a darker pink for shadows.
- If you have a white pencil, use it to add highlights.
Step 6: Add a Background
Make your drawing even cooler by adding a background. You could draw the ocean, other fish, or even tiny baby shrimp.
Conclusion
Great job on your funny shrimp drawing! We hope you had a blast. Remember to share your artwork and keep having fun with your creativity!
