Knowledge Chunk 🦗

Did You Know?

A grasshopper can jump 20 times its body length.

Step 1: Sketching the Head and Antennae

Firstly, you will need to draw a big round head. Secondly, extend two long antennae upwards. You may also include small circles at their tips. Your cartoon grasshopper will seem cuter like that.

This will serve as the main body parts of your cartoon insect drawing.

Step 2: Sketching Eyes and Mouth

Add two curvy eyes, and then draw a broad smile in between them. Such a feature makes your grasshopper appear cheerful and lively.

Do not be overly concerned about symmetry. Minor imperfections always add uniqueness to your artworks.

Step 3: Sketching Neck and Forebody

Next, extend a line from the head and down to indicate the neck of the insect. Then proceed with drawing its forebody part.

The drawing becomes progressively clearer.

Step 4: Adding Stripes and Front Legs

Finally, draw the rounded abdomen. Don’t forget to add some curved stripes to it. Draw the front pair of legs under the insect’s body.

Step 5: Draw the Big Legs Used for Jumping

The jumping legs of the grasshopper are the biggest and most important body parts of this insect. Draw two big curved legs coming out of the body.

Thanks to these powerful legs, grasshoppers are capable of jumping.

Step 6: Outline the Whole Body of the Grasshopper

Add all other lines that will complete the outline of the grasshopper. Make sure that all parts of the grasshopper are connected.

Now your cute grasshopper picture is completely outlined.

Step 7: Paint the Drawing

Paint the body of the grasshopper light green, while its stripes should be painted yellow. Color the insides of the mouth and make other modifications that you want.

Additionally, you can draw several sparkles around your grasshopper picture.

Congratulations! Your cute grasshopper illustration is ready now.
