How to Draw a Cartoon Caterpillar with this how-to video and step-by-step drawing instructions. Simple drawing for kids and beginners.
Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below
You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
Start by drawing a circle. This will form the caterpillar’s head.
Step 2
Draw a smaller shape overlapping the first shape. It should be round but uneven. Then, draw a third circle overlapping the second. They form the first segments of the caterpillar’s body.
Step 3
Delete the paths from the circle.
Step 4
Draw another circle overlapping the last one, creating another segment.
Step 5
Draw another, smaller circle, overlapping the previous one, creating another segment.
Step 6
Draw another, much smaller circle overlapping the last segment. This can be thought of as the caterpillar’s tail.
Step 7
Remove guide lines from paragraphs.
Step 8
Add features to your caterpillar. Draw whiskers on top of the head. For each antenna, extend a curved line upward from the top of the head. Fold it in half, enclosing a circle at the top. Then, reconnect the line to the head. Next, draw two small triangles extending from each front part of the caterpillar. These are the caterpillar’s legs.
Step 9
Give your caterpillar a smiling face. Use a wide “U” shaped line for the mouth, with small curved lines at each end. Draw two ovals to form the eyes. Within each eye, enclose two smaller ovals. The shadow between them, forms the pupil. Draw a curved shape above each eye using two lines, indicating eyebrows.
Step 10
Color your caterpillar. What color should he choose? Caterpillars truly come in every color you can imagine. Inchworm caterpillars are bright green, while Monarch caterpillars are black and yellow. Others are yellow, red, orange or white.
