2.Step-by-Step Guide to Drawing a Butterfly
We will guide you step-by-step to help kids draw a simple diya as it is an important part of the Diwali festival. Let your kids enjoy a beautiful Diwali drawing using different color combinations.
Step 1 : Draw the Head of the Butterfly
Start by sketching a small circle at the center of your page to depict the butterfly’s head. Draw a guiding line through the center of the circle to make it easier to add the rest of the butterfly’s body.
Step 2 : Draw the butterfly’s antennae and body.
Now, draw two oval shapes side-by-side on top of the half-circle, as shown in the image.
Step 3 : Draw the Wings
Add two large, curved lines as shown in the picture, on either side of the body for the wings.
Step 4 : Add Eyes and a Smiley Face with Details to the Wings
Begin by drawing two tiny circles close together inside the butterfly’s head, near the top. These circles represent the eyes. Then, add a small curved line just below the eyes to form the smile. This simple addition of eyes and a smile can give your butterfly a friendly and cheerful look. Next, for the wings, draw two larger circles and two smaller circles as shown in the picture inside them to create beautiful patterns.
Step 5 : Your drawing is ready, Let’s outline it!
Now, you can outline the drawing with a black sketch pen, as shown in the picture, to provide a clear boundary for coloring your beautiful butterfly. This will make it easier to stay within the lines when you add color to your artwork.
Final Touches
Go over your drawing, erasing any extra lines, and refining the details. Then, color your butterfly using crayons or colored pencils. Let your imagination fly with vibrant colors and patterns!
Tips and Tricks to Draw
