This is a random cartoonish doodle of a praying mantis.

Step 1: The Head and Eyes

Step 2: Neck and Arms

Draw the neck and arms of the mantis.

Step 3: Draw in the Body and Legs

Draw the body and legs of the mantis.

Step 4: Finished!

Now you can outline the mantis!

This is really cool! Not to be annoying or anything, but to be a bit more true to life, Gary should have another set of legs. You are a great drawer! Have you made any other drawing instructables? I give this one 5 stars!!!!
