You can draw this oval in one continuous stroke or connect two sideways “C” shapes to make this shape.
Find the center of your oval and draw two small circles next to each other on the top line. Make sure to space the circles far enough away that you can clearly see both of them. You may also want to color them in completely with your pencil or a black marker. Above each circle, add a short line sticking up and out, from the inside of the circle. This means that the two antenna lines should be directly across from each other, with the circle eyes on the outside.
On top of each oval, draw a larger oval tilted diagonally inward toward the eyes. Your top ovals should look like they are almost facing each other while reaching upward. Add the pincers on the top of the larger oval. To draw the pincers, hold your pencil at the top of the oval and draw a short curved line reaching upward. End this line with a pointed tip, and take the line back down to the center of the top of the oval. From the center of the top of the oval, draw a shorter curved line, curving toward the first (as if to complete a circle), and end that line in a point as well, before taking it back down the the base of the oval.
Draw another leg directly below the first one. Use a crescent shape to angle this leg upward as well. Repeat on the other side. Draw the last leg directly below the second, but this time, angle the present shape downward. Repeat on the other side.
You can also create your claw by starting with a rectangle shape on the edge of the diamond. Add a small circle onto the top of the rectangle and then two crescent shapes facing each other for the pincers. Once this is done, start drawing out the shapes of the walking legs, and the very back swimming legs.
Give the crab some small eyes on the tip of its head and two short antenna. Erase all the guidelines and shapes that you drew in step one. If you want to become better at drawing read about art. Practice a lot of sketching. [1] X Research source Learn from a good teacher to see things from an artistic point of view. [2] X Research source
