Steps 1
I began my drawing from the abdomen of the scorpion down to the five segments of the metasomal (tail). I used my orange colour for this drawing.

Steps 2
In this second step, I completed the abdomen and also drew the two big legs found by the thorax. These two legs contain the chela fingers. I used both orange colour and pencil at this stage.

Steps 3
I drew the four Other legs that are attached to the abdomen. Four legs to the right and four to the left. Orange colour is used at this stage too.

Steps 4
Here, I coloured the metasomal (tail) and I segmented it using orange and brown colours. Finally, at this stage, I coloured the stinger (aculeus) using my pencil.

Steps 5
I added more colours to the metasomal and made it more real.

Steps 6
Here I coloured the abdomen and the thorax. I used brown colour and orange colour. I also use my pencil to make certain areas dark. Finally, I coloured the eye of the scorpion using a pencil.

Steps 7
I coloured the two legs connected to the thorax. I used brown colour and orange colour. I coloured the chela fingers using a pencil.

Steps 8
Finally, I coloured the legs attached to the abdomen. I equally used my brown and orange colours.
