Intro: How to Draw a Metroid

In this Instructable, I will show you how to draw a metroid from the 1986 video game, Metroid.

STEP 1: the Top

To start off you first draw an open semicircle. Be sure it's open or your metroid will have a skirt on.

STEP 2: the Bottom

After you draw the top you close it off with a line that has two curves.

STEP 3: The Brains

Add three dots in an upside-down triangle formation in the outline's lower middle.

STEP 4: The Claws

Add four 90 degree curves(middle ones are smaller) and connect them to the metroid with more curved lines.

STEP 5: The Goo

To finish the simplified version go inside the outline and draw the same shape but smaller.

STEP 6: The Shine

If you want to continue your drawing then add squiggly lines in the center to show shines.

STEP 7: The Details

Add some dots in it's membrane and darken the center for a slimy effect.

STEP 8: The Caption

This part is completely optional and you can do your own style.

Well, now you know how to draw a character from my favorite video game.
