How to draw a cockroach with a pencil, step by step

So let's get started:
- Use a regular simple pencil to sketch. Draw an oval and oblong torso. Draw a line in the middle of the insect where the wings should open. Mark the directions of the six paws, three on each side.
- Go to drawing the picture. First, outline the cephalothorax of the cockroach by drawing a small section of the torso. Then draw the end of the body (oval), in the future it will become the head of the insect. On its sides, mark the eyes of a cockroach with small semi-ovals. Next draw the mustache. Their location can be different - parallel to each other, forward, backward, sideways or slightly diagonally. Do not forget that the length of the mustache of the Prusak is slightly less than the length of the body.
- Draw the legs of the insect. Each limb of a cockroach is formed from three segments, while at the places of their joints the limbs can bend. Place two "needles" at the end of the legs.
- The body cover of the insect has a peculiar pattern. The head and torso are asymmetrical to each other, although visually this is very slightly expressed. The flaps of a cockroach are overlapped, like the petals of a tulip. Draw these cross contours. At the end of the body, draw two short "antennae" that grow from the belly of the insect. Use the eraser to remove all unnecessary and auxiliary lines.
- Apply hatching over the entire shape of the hull. Draw two dark spots on the cephalothorax of the cockroach. Do not forget to draw hairs on the paws. Next, after hatching with the end of the eraser, apply a fewlongitudinal lines along the flaps of the insect, in addition, you can highlight the eyes and make a highlight on the cephalothorax. Then carefully draw the main plan with a sharp pencil.
