In this lesson I want to show you how to draw an insect. The world of insects is very diverse and interesting, and you will certainly enjoy this step-by-step guide. In this lesson you will draw a small beetle.
In the picture you can see that the beetle has a long body with pointed ends, wings, a round head with antennae and also has six legs, but we only see three legs on one side. This is a very handy drawing object. You can easily draw this insect if you carefully follow all the drawing steps.
