About Crab
Crabs are a form of decapods (having eight walking legs and two grasping claws), along with lobsters, crayfish, and shrimps. Crabs form an order within the decapods, called the Brachyura. Their short body is covered by a thick exoskeleton. They are an extremely successful group, found all over the world.
Crabs are decapod crustaceans that have a very short tail and are covered with a thick shell, or exoskeleton, and are armed with a single pair of claws.
Crabs are invertebrates (animals without a backbone). Their exoskeleton protects them from predators and provides support for their bodies.
They have flattened bodies, two feeler antennae, and two eyes located on the end of stalks, and they are 10-legged animals that walk sideways.

Follow the steps below to easily draw a cute crab step by step.
Step 1

Then, draw small circles to make the big eyes of the crab and draw two small lines to join the eyes and body parts as in the drawing below. ( Roughly )
Step 3
Now, draw the left-hand part, and draw the two horizontal small ovals and go by jointing them, and on the top of that draw (v letter) like shape and oval and intercept each other and the final image of the crab’s hand is in the drawing below. ( Fairly )
Step 4
Now, draw the right-hand part, and draw the two horizontal small ovals and go by jointing them, and on the top of that draw (v letter) like shape and oval and intercept each other and the final image of the hand of crab is in the drawing below. ( Fairly )
Step 5
Similarly, now draw three horizontal small ovals and go by jointing them to make the leg of the crab, and draw on both sides and draw below the crab’s hand.
Step 6
Again, now draw the three horizontal small ovals and go by jointing them to make the leg of the crab, and draw on both sides and draw below the first leg of the crab.
Step 7
Again, now draw the three horizontal small ovals and go by jointing them to make the leg of the crab, and draw on both sides and draw below the second leg of the crab.
