How To Draw A Grasshopper Step By Step

I have simply explained the colorful grasshopper drawing below. Practice it and make it more innovative with your beautiful creative mind. 

Happy learning!

Step 1:

Start with the head of the grasshopper. For it, draw an oval of small size. To make it more beautiful, draw the ends of the oval a little bit pointed. 

Since you are not a professional artist and the journey to become one is long, so just do not be worried about making a perfect drawing. This is just your first step and do remember! you can never achieve perfectness. You can only put your efforts to go near it.

Step 2:

In the next step, you will learn to draw the green insect’s eye. They are very easy to draw. Make two circles at the top mid of the oval. One circle should be in the oval completely and the other circle just slightly overlapping the oval. 

Step 3:

What mood is of your grasshopper? Is it happy or sad? Make your choice  and then complete the head of your grasshopper by adding a mouth. You can make it a smiling face or a gloomy one. By the way I am sure you will go for a happy faced green fellow.

Step 4:

You are done with the first section, the head. Now color the eye balls with black color to make them prominent. draw a very small curve that represent the grasshopper smile. See the image. Lets now draw the second and third parts and give it a final look. 

Step 5:

Draw a banana shaped abdomen of your hopper attached from the middle of the head from one side and very pointed from the rear side. to get the real image you need to follow the image.

Step 6:

In this step of how to draw a grasshopper step by step you just need to complete the abdominal body of the grasshopper. Great you have almost learnt how to play fair! keep it going kids!

Step 7:

Fix the wings. Draw two pairs of wings. In real, hindwings of grasshoppers are fan-like and are covered by two narrow leathery forewings. But in drawing lessons, you are free from any kind of restrictions.

Step 8:

Once you draw grasshopper wings then in this step you need to refine the work. Remove extra curves to make it more appealing. It shapes like two bananas are lying one another. See the image.

Step 9:

Bring out two curves to draw grasshopper legs. these two must be small. but before it’s drawing you need sharp your pencil first. because you are going to draw very thin legs.

Step 10:

Move towards appendages now. Since grasshoppers belong to the class hexapod, draw six jointed legs. These legs help the grasshoppers to hop and cover a good range. also, draw two curves at head to design antenna there. 

Step 11:

This is the second last step of grasshopper drawing. you are very close to this. To give your grasshopper a realistic look, draw two antennas at the top of its head. Antennas function just like your nose but they sense more details. Also, draw a pair of foot to make the grasshopper cartoon drawing. 

Step 12:

Yah! You achieved this goal to complete the grasshopper sketching. Color your drawing with different shades of green. Coloring will add more charm to your insect drawing and give it an amazing final look.
