How to Draw a Butterfly Tattoo, Monarch Butterfly
1
You will start by drawing a small circle for the tip of the butterfly's head, then draw the outlined shape of the butterfly's wing.
2
Using the shape of the wing you just made, start sketching out the actual wing structure. Draw in the butterfly's eyeballs which are bulging, then make sure that the end of the wing is serrated.
3
Here is where you will begin drawing the barbed wire. Start at the top, and be sure that the lining is twisted and parted. There are two strands to the wire, and there are barb knots with pointed sharp tips.
4
Here you will begin drawing in the monarch butterfly's markings or wing pattern. Start slow because you will have to draw the markings while the wing is wrapped or caught in the wire.
5
Lastly, draw the end piece of the butterfly's wing tip like so. When that is done you will then draw more of the markings on the wing. Erase the mistakes then you're done.
6
Here is the finished work when you are all done. Now you can color in your butterfly.
