How to Draw an Easy Butterfly

Step 1.


Start by drawing an oval shape for the butterfly's body, and then draw a lower horizontal line like you see here.

Step 2.


Now all you have to do is use the horizontal line you drew in step one as a guide to make your wings even and aliened with each other.

Step 3.


What you will do now is draw out the body a bit skinnier then you originally drew in step one. At the same time, incorporate the butterfly's antennas with the lining design you are doing now.

Step 4.


For your last drawing step, all you have to do is draw in the horizontal lines on the body, and then add the various spots on the wings if that is the type of design pattern you like. Erase the lines and shapes that you drew in step one to prepare yo   

Step 5.


Here is how your butterfly looks when you are all done. Now you can color it in whatever you like. I hope you liked this lesson on drawing an easy butterfly.

Description: I am going to start the day by submitting one of three lessons that will be on some more easy stuff. There is plenty of stuff that one can draw when it comes to easy things. There are animals, objects, cars, people, and so on and so forth. Today, I will be teaching you "how to draw an easy butterfly", step by step. Butterflies are insects I like to draw because they are so beautiful, and they are incredibly easy to replicate. Their big flower like wings, and colorful shades and patterns make the butterfly one of the most desirable insects or objects to draw. The one you will be getting a lesson on is going to be super-duper easy because I drew it to look like a butterfly you would find in a kids coloring book. You can color in your finished butterfly with a variety of your favorite colors to customize it to your liking. Anyways, there is still some more easy stuff that you will be drawing today if you choose to tackle the lessons for them. If you want a tutorial with a little more edge to it, don't worry they will be here soon. I guess that is all I really have to say for right now.
