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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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