Here's an easy way to draw a caterpillar.

Steps

  1. 1
    Start by making 4 M's. Connect them all so that there is no space in between the letters.(The M's have to be round! Not pointy.)
  2. 2
    Draw a connecting circle after the last M.

  3. 3
    Start with the end of the circle and go back the same way you came. Make M's with the center of each of the M's going between each 'u' of the M.(Just like the Me-To We symbol!)
    • Make a connecting tail that goes up into a triangle. Connect the bottom and top M's.
  4. 4
    Draw 2 lines that come from the top of the head. Make two tiny circles on each end for antennas.
  5. 5
    Draw a small circle for an eye.
  6. 6
    Draw a small upwards triangle for a smile.
  7. 7
    Finished.

    Practice your drawing, and consider taking some art classes. Classes will help you learn 3D drawing and shading, and teach you to make your drawings more realistic.

    Can that same caterpillar look 3d?

    Perhaps with a lot of perfect shading it can look a little 3D. You have to alter it with shading to make it look that way.
