Amazing Butterfly Fact 🦋

Did You Know?

Butterflies taste using their feet. When they land on a flower or plant, tiny sensory organs located in their feet help them locate their source of nutrition. The butterflies can discover which plants they should feed upon with their unique ability to sense through their feet.

 

Step 1: Outline the Butterfly’s Head

Start by creating a small circle at the top of your paper. The circle will form the head of the butterfly you are drawing. Don’t forget about proportion while making the head. It should not be too large compared to the body.

Step 2: Outline the Body

Add a slender body below the butterfly’s head. The body can be elongated and gradually become thinner moving down from the head of the insect. The outline of the butterfly’s body can still look very simple but will help build your drawing later.

Step 3: Draw the Front Pair of Wings

Next, add wings to the front side of your butterfly. Start by outlining an upper large wing and a lower small wing. Remember that these are the butterfly’s most prominent features and should be drawn carefully.

Step 4: Draw Wings & the Antennae

Create the exact wings on the other side. Remember that butterfly wings are always the same in their dimensions, and you should pay attention to the detail to create a nice picture. Draw two antennae over the head of the butterfly. Put small circles over each antenna end. It will add a realistic touch to your butterfly drawing.

Step 5: Start Coloring the Upper Part of the Butterfly

Pick a bright yellow marker and paint all the wings on the top of the butterfly. Now, pick a pink marker and color the bottom part of the wings. Such bright and cheerful colors will be a great idea for the beautiful butterfly picture.

Do not hesitate to play with colors and come up with something unique.

Step 6: Color the Head and Body

Pick a light yellow marker and color the head and the body of the butterfly. After that, put several horizontal lines over the butterfly’s body to show its segments.

It would also look nice to paint the ends of antennae pink to complete coloring.

Step 7: Decoration of the Wings

It’s time to be the most creative now by putting some dots, lines, and simple shapes all over the wings. The decorative pattern will give uniqueness to each of your butterflies as there are no two identical ones.

Draw pink dots on the yellow wings and yellow dots on the pink wings for an attractive design. After the decoration process, your butterfly is ready.

Congrats! Your creation is beautiful and colored in bright colors.
