Below is a little poem I wrote about 'how to draw a scorpion'.
When one draws anything at all one must consider all the facets of their subject, that includes scorpion drawings as much as it would sketching a face or a flower or anything at all.
You need to become familiar with your subject in order to do a decent job.
When I researched scorpions I was surprised to discover that they can have up to FIVE sets of extra eyes.
Wow.
Scorpion drawings a lot to consider two thousand species in waiting for their portraits? Oof...
I shiver! I can see it now...
Scorpions standing in line some with their tail reaching beseeching those with no sketching spine.
Drawings of scorpions waiting to be done but which scor-pi-on? Those under rocks those sneaky guys under rocks or in holes hiding from the sun? Their body mostly in two parts the head and the belly a drawing begins lightly till it pleases me or I'm silly.
Two eyes properly placed on their durable skin yet oh and alas that's not where their eyes end! Along the sides a word to the 'not' so wise a scorpion sees with up to FIVE pair of eyes! Four pair of walking arms with hooks that give us all alarm.
while walking to meet their prey with their venom injecting barb.
Living from age 4 to 25 nocturnal creatures love the dark so from sunlight hide.
They crush their prey or inject them paralyze with neurotoxic venom so please be wise when scorpion drawings are calling you nigh.
No worries though for humans? Scorpions are relatively harmless.
A little numbness might come except I say except for some...
Be mindful of those death-stalkers no standing still and no talkin' be on your way! One last thing that you should know Scorpions are also known to glow Yes that's right so draw some light on your scorpion drawings late at night.
