Drawing Steps
Step 1 – Draw the Body
Draw a long oval shape standing up — like a vertical jellybean. This is the butterfly’s body!
Step 2 – Add the Head and Antennae
On top of the body, draw a small circle for the head.
Then, draw two curved antennae coming out from the head with little circles at the tips.
Step 3 – Draw the Top Wings
From each side of the body, draw a big rounded wing — like a large ear or rainbow shape. These are the top wings.
Step 4 – Draw the Bottom Wings
Now draw a smaller wing shape below each top wing. These should look like upside-down rainbows or petals.
Step 5 – Add the Face
Draw two big cute eyes on the head. You can make them round with little sparkles inside.
Add a small smile just below the eyes.
Step 6 – Decorate the Wings
Inside each wing, draw fun shapes like:
- Circles
- Hearts
- Swirls or lines
These make the wings colorful and fun!
Step 7 – Outline the Drawing
Trace over all your lines using a black marker to make it bold and clean.
Step 8 – Color Your Butterfly
Use your favorite bright colors — pink, purple, yellow, blue — butterflies love rainbows!
