How to Draw Caterpillar, Alice in Wonderland

Step 1.


Start this lesson by drawing a circle for the shape of the Caterpillar's head, and then add the face guidelines. Draw the one single line that will be the wire frame for his body.

Step 2.


Now, you will start sketching out the shape of Caterpillar's head structure. As you can see the front part of his head sort of curls inward like so. Continue this same lining to form the structure of the face, and the shape of the worm like body.

Description: I can't begin to tell you guys how many people have been asking me to do another tutorial on a specific character from Lewis Carroll's adventurous book, Alice in Wonderland. 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.
