How to Draw The Very Hungry Caterpillar

1. Begin the Very Hungry Caterpillar outline by drawing an irregular half-circle. This will become the caterpillar's head.

Then, draw two irregular round shapes to form the eyes. Inside one of them, draw another irregular shape parallel to the outline.

2. Draw a round shape parallel to the remaining eye. Then, draw a rounded triangle beneath them to indicate the caterpillar's nose.

From the top of the head, extend a long curved line and double it back on itself to enclose a narrow teardrop shape. This is the caterpillar's antenna.

3. Extend another curved line and double it back to enclose a teardrop shape, forming the remaining antennal.

Then, enclose a shape like a flattened oval beside the head. Next to it enclose another shape and then a teardrop shape. These are the segments of the caterpillar's body.

4. Use curved lines to enclose four more segments, some flattened ovals and others teardrop shapes.

5. Use curved lines to enclose four more body segments. Notice that the caterpillar's body is arched like a rainbow.

6. Use curved lines to enclose four more body segments.

7. Enclose three teardrop-shaped body segments and two rounded body segments.

8. Draw the caterpillar's feet. Enclose several irregular triangle shapes beneath its front half and one below its tail.

9. Draw another foot below the tail. Then draw short lines all along the top of the body to indicate hairs.

Your Very Hungry Caterpillar outline is now complete. Color your character. His body is various shades of green and his face is red.
