- Use a 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 legs, three on each side.
- We proceed to the drawing. First designate the cockroach's cephalothorax, drawing a small section of the body. Then draw the end of the body (oval), in the future it will become the head of the insect. On its sides, outline the eyes of the cockroach in small semi-oaks. Next draw a 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 of three segments, while in the places of their joints the limbs can bend. At the end of the legs, place two “needles”.
- The cover of the body of the insect has a peculiar pattern. The head and torso are asymmetric with each other, although visually it is very slightly expressed. The cockroach flaps are lapped like petals on a tulip. Draw these cross contours. At the end of the body, draw two short “antennae” that grow from the insect’s abdomen. Using an eraser, remove all unnecessary and auxiliary lines.
- Hatch over the entire shape of the body. On the cephalothorax of the cockroach, draw two dark spots. Do not forget to draw hairs on the paws. Then, after hatching with the end of the eraser, apply several longitudinal lines along the flaps of the insect, in addition, you can highlight the eyes and make a highlight on the cephalothorax. Then with a sharp pencil carefully draw the main plan.
