Hello all! Today we offer you a new step-by-step drawing lesson, and we will draw an interesting and unusual insect - a scorpion. More precisely, it is of course an arthropod, not an insect. Our guest today belongs to the class of spiders, and he has a very bad reputation - biting, small creature, carrying a deadly poison at the tip of the sting. Indeed, you don't have to be a huge dragon to be deadly, even a small bug can easily send it to the other side. But in fact, only the venom of only 50 varieties of scorpion is dangerous to humans, the remaining 700 species, according to wikipedia, are harmless.
However, to approach scorpions and try to teach them the commands "fetch", "lie down" and so on, we strongly recommend not, it can be very harmful to health. But to draw them is very useful to train your artistic skills, which we are going to do right now. Yes, another thing - if you're looking for a lesson that would talk about how to draw Scorpion from Mortal Kombat - it is also available on our site.
