Easy Crab Drawing – Step by Step for Kids

Hey there, young artists! Ready to draw a cute and easy crab drawing? Grab your tools and get ready to have fun together.

Do you know what crabs are? Let me introduce you to them first.

The crabs are amazing creatures with pinchy claws and fascinating legs. They live on sandy beaches and you might find them hiding in rocky nooks. These cool critters love snacking on all sorts of yummy things like small fish, plants, and even other crabs!

So, now you know a little bit about these creatures. Ready to draw a crab friend of your own that’ll make everyone smile?

Let’s get started! Here are the incredible 8 easy steps that guides you to sketch a cute and Easy Crab Drawing, so please follow all these steps.

Step 1: Outline the Crab’s Body

In the first step of our ‘Easy Crab Drawing’ we are going to make a shape that is mostly like a ‘Shell’ found in the seashore. It is going to be the outline for our crabby friend. Easy, right?

Step 2: Adding Legs to the body

Here we will draw legs extending from each side of the body outline to give the crab its walking legs.

Did you know that crabs have six legs on each side that help them scuttle and explore their watery homes? They use their strong claws to grip food and navigate their sandy or rocky habitats.

Step 3: Adding Eyes 

Now, draw two round shapes just above the outline you made in the first step of our ‘easy crab drawing’. These are going to be the eyes of our friend, Crabby.

Step 4: More detailing in our Easy Crab Drawing

In this step, we make the eyes adorable and put a small smile on our Crabby friend. Ready to move to the next step of our Crabby friend?

Step 5: Drawing Claws

Our crabby friend needs its hands now. So we add “hands” here, to give it a playful appearance. These ‘Hands’ are known as ‘Claws’ that help it grab food and explore its surroundings.

Step 6: Joining its eyes to the body

A pair of ‘Claw’ gave our crabby friend its shape. Next, we join its eyes to the body and now it looks more like a Crab. Are you excited to put in some colours? Grab your colour pencils first, and here we go.

Step 7: Let’s colour it

In this phase start putting an orange shade in the claws of our crabby. Fill the same colour in its legs and body and there you go, our easy crab drawing is almost ready to make you happy.

Step 8: Adding more details

Look at our crab becoming so cool! Ready to add those final details? To add some shadow, pick a grey colour pencil and colour along the border of our outline that will give you an amazing look.

It is optional if you like to put two eyebrows on, you can.

Tada, It’s ready.

Congratulations, budding artist! Look at the amazing crab you’ve drawn! What a fantastic job you’ve done bringing this friendly creature to life on paper. Keep exploring your artistic talents, and remember, endless wonders are waiting to be drawn! Great job.
