How to Draw a Lobster Face
Draw a lobster face in 11 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the body.
Step 1: The body
In the middle of the page, draw a big tall egg, narrower at the top. Leave room above and below.
Step 2: Eyes on stalks
Above the body, draw 2 big round eyes floating just above the top. Add a short stalk to each.
Step 3: Happy face
In the lower half of the body, draw a smile from under one eye to the other. Add pink cheeks.
Step 4: Long feelers
From the top corners of the body, draw 2 long thin feelers sweeping up and out, thinner at the tips.
Step 5: Arms
On each side of the body, just below the middle, draw a fat arm that bends out and up.
Step 6: Pincer claws
At the end of each arm, draw a big mitten claw with a V notch cut into the inside corner.
Step 7: Legs
Under the arms, draw 2 legs on each side that bend out, then down to thin tips.
Step 8: Tail segments
Under the body, draw 3 short rounded bands for the tail, each one a little narrower.
Step 9: Fan tail
Under the last band, draw a wide fan with 3 round bumps along its bottom.
Step 10: Orange claws
Colour both claws orange.
Step 11: Colour the lobster red
Colour the body, stalks, feelers, arms, legs and tail red, around the cheeks and claws. Leave the eyes white.

Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a lobster face, drawn by you.
