Drawing Steps
Step 1 – Draw the Body
Draw a big oval shape lying on its side, like an egg. This will be the ladybug’s body.
Step 2 – Draw the Head
On the left end of the oval, draw a small semicircle or circle touching the body. This is the head.
Step 3 – Divide the Wings
Draw a straight line down the middle of the oval to split the wings in half.
Step 4 – Add the Antennae
From the top of the head, draw two short curved antennae with little circles at the tips.
Step 5 – Draw the Spots
Inside each wing half, draw 3 or 4 round spots. You can make them big or small!
Step 6 – Draw the Face
On the head, draw two big eyes and a small smiling mouth.
Step 7 – Add the Legs
Draw three little legs on each side of the body — short lines with tiny feet.
Step 8 – Outline Your Drawing
Use a black marker to trace all your pencil lines carefully.
Step 9 – Color Your Ladybug
Color the body bright red, the spots black, the head black or dark brown, and the eyes white with black pupils.
