If you’d like your students to remember the body parts of an insect, say a beetle, then drawing one with instructions that mention the “head, thorax and abdomen” will certainly support that. (See PDF download)

My tutorial shows an easy crayon solution for your beetle art, but I couldn’t help but add a watercolor sample above too. Simple drawings can sometimes look SO great with the texture that liquid paint on watercolor paper creates.

If you do go the painting route, just be sure to let the beetle dry completely before filling in the background. It will lessen the chances that the colors bleed together.

Materials to draw a Beetle

• Drawing Paper. This is the good stuff you can buy in bulk for a good price.
• Pencils. I like how this brand always makes nice dark lines.
• Black Marker. A permanent marker will give you a dark black color.
• Crayons. The larger packs are nice for more color choices.
• Note: All of the above are Amazon affiliate links.
