Grasshopper study

Practice drawing grasshopper with clear contours and a few selected details. Place the large bent hind leg across the body and add the smaller supporting legs. Draw two antennae, an eye and a simple folded wing boundary.

A way into the drawing

1. Start with the main forms

   Connect a small head to a long tapered body.

2. Build the overlaps

   Place the large bent hind leg across the body and add the smaller supporting legs.

3. Choose the finishing details

   Draw two antennae, an eye and a simple folded wing boundary.

A small thing to tryMake the rear leg bend larger than the other leg joints so the pose reads immediately.
