If you have an idea of who I am talking about, then you must be one of people that wanted this character as a lesson. Today, I will show all you aspiring artists, “how to draw Caterpillar, from the very popular book turned Disney movie, Alice in Wonderland. This is an insect that has a lot of questions, riddles, and smoke. To many, he is referred to as the "Hookah Smoking Caterpillar" because of the fact that he spends his days and nights just lounging on mushroom caps smoking a hookah all by himself, and he loves every minute of it too. One of the most popular phrases that he is known for is when he says with a lengthy, breathy, "Whooo ... are ... you?". He says this to Alice when she first meets the carefree caterpillar relaxing on one of his mushroom couches. He is amongst the very first characters that she meets as she looks for a way back home. Alice even tells Caterpillar that, he will one day turn into a butterfly. The other beginning subjects that she has encounters with is White Rabbit, Mad Hatter, Dormouse, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, and of course the Cheshire cat. He is a pretty easy insect to draw, and I think you will find that learning “how to draw the Hookah Smoking Caterpillar”, is going to be a lot easier than you thought possible.
