Scorpion Drawing in just 6 Easy Steps!
Anyone can learn how to draw a scorpion by following this fun and easy guide!
Lets discover how to recreate this intimidating arachnid.
I am quite scared of spiders, but scorpions may scare me even more!
These little guys just look really mean and intimidating with their stingers ready to sting.
Their stingers can administer some pretty powerful poison that can cause a great deal of pain in humans.
This means you should definitely not mess with them.
That being said, I also think they look really cool.
There is something about how dangerous they look that is weirdly appealing.
Drawing them is quite tricky, as they have a lot of details and segments.
So lets begin and see how we can make one of these impressive little guys!
There will be a slightly more angular outcropping at the bottom of the head, however.
Then, after you grab the head drawn you could start on the body.
when you land these elements drawn, youre ready for step 2!
Much like the body, the arm of the scorpion also has segments to it.
Using some curved lines, you’ve got the option to extend the first segment of the arm.
It will twist outward, where this first segment will end and the next one will begin.
The second segment will be much smaller, as seen in the reference picture.
Then, its time to add the famous pincer!
Use some curved lines with a sharp point to it for the larger part of the pincer on top.
Then, you could add the smaller half beneath it.
This arm is at a slightly different angle, so it will have fewer segments to it.
Much like many of the other parts of this drawing, the tail will have several segments to it.
The reference image will guide you as to how this should look!
The first segment should angle upward, and the second downward.
You know not to mess with them because of their big claws and intimidating features.
However, you could make this scorpion look even more intimidating with a few changes.
It could be some more scorpions, for example.
There are also some other scary creatures you could add, like spiders for example.
Can you imagine a big tarantula next to this scorpion?
We can imagine it even though we dont like to.
Despite that, it would certainly be a way to make the picture even scarier!
Another way you could do that would be to change some details.
Drawing that would make this scorpion look like it means business.
You could also use some bright reds and oranges for give this picture a brighter look.
It may make it look like a warning sign that dangerous scorpions are out and about.
You could even add some text that warns people of a scorpion threat.
Can you think of any other ways you could make this scorpion more intimidating?
Be sure to add your own ideas before we move to the final step.
Scorpions come in many different color schemes, so you could really get creative with your favorite colors!
You also have many options available for the different art mediums it’s possible for you to use.
If you prefer a more muted look, you could use watercolors or colored pencils for a softer look.
For a more striking and vibrant look, you could use acrylic paints or colored pens.
Any approach will look great, so how will you finish off your scorpion drawing?
