How to draw a crab

Looking for a crab dinner? You won’t find it here! Learn to draw this handsome cartoon crab in this step by step tutorial all for free!

Step 1
Sketch the guidelines with grey pencil- two circles for the eyes and a lemon shape for the body and claws.

Step 2
Draw the outline with a black pencil and fill in the details of the claws and jointed legs. Most importantly DO NOT FORGET …to add a nice big smile . Next erase the guidelines.

Step 3
Our crab has big droopy eyes coloured in with pencil, but for the rest of him I’ve used the airbrush tool and a transparent red. Transparent white highlights have been added with the paint bucket along with a transparent dark red shadow under the mouth.
Airbrush in some light transparent light brown for the sand, a light blue for the sky and a darker blue for the sea. Use the paint bucket and a transparent black to add the shadow under the crab for the finishing touch.
