You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
Fold the paper in half either way, or lightly draw a diagonal dividing line in the middle.
Step 2
Draw the body and head of the butterfly in the center of the vertical line.
Step 3
Draw two curved lines starting just below the head and going all the way to the upper left and right corners. Then draw an inverted curve starting from the bottom of the body. Do your best to make your lines as symmetrical as possible on both sides of the midline.
Step 4
Connect the wings by drawing an inward wavy wavy line. This step may take a few practice sketches with your pencil before you get it right. Remember to make these lines as symmetrical as possible.
Step 5
Draw a beard on the head. Then draw two large symmetrical rings on the inside of the top star wing.
Step 5
Draw two more horizontal loops in the center of the wing. Make sure the base of the rings match.
Step 7
And then draw loops in the bottom part of the wings.
Step 8
Then add two more rings for a total of 4 rings of symmetry on each side of the wing.
Step 9
Next, draw three diagonal lines connecting the edge of the top rings to the wing.
Step 10
Continue to draw more diagonal lines from the edge of the ring to the edge of the wing. Make two diagonal lines on each loop as shown below.
Step 11
Finally, draw a contour along the outer edge of the wing.
