Butterfly

In this lesson, we will learn how to draw a butterfly. Start with a light pencil sketch to outline the general shapes of the wings and body. Then add details: patterns on the wings, antennae, and shadows to give the butterfly volume. This is a very simple lesson; you will definitely succeed.
