Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below
You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
Start your simple cute butterfly sketch by drawing a “C” shaped line. This will form the bottom part of the butterfly’s head.
Step 2
Extend two curved lines below the head. Double the top of each line. This part will become the chest or the feathery middle of the butterfly.
Step 3
Extend a curved line from each of the lines drawn in the front body. Fold them in half at the ends to form sharp points.
Step 4
Draw a curved line, continuing one side of the chest of the simple cute butterfly.
Step 5
Draw a curved line on the opposite side to completely enclose the ribcage, forming a gentle spot at the bottom.
Step 6
Detail and complete the face and head of the simple cute butterfly. Draw two oval sections to form the eyes. Draw a thick curved line on each end and extend the line beyond the shape of the head.
This forms the eyelids and eyelashes. Draw a circle within a circle inside each eye and shade between them to represent the pupil. Then draw a curved line to connect the eyes, enclosing the circle of the butterfly’s head.
Step 7
Draw long and curly beard. Extend two curved lines from the butterfly’s head. Straight lines, even though they don’t touch each other at the top, should suggest a heart shape. Draw an oval at the top of each antenna.
Step 8
Next, sketch the butterfly’s magnificent wings. Use long, curved lines to trace the rounded triangular shapes of the upper wings.
Then use a series of curved lines to create the heart shapes of the wings underneath. Draw an oval on each wing tip and decorate the wings with curved and narrow triangles.
Step 9
Complete your simple cute butterfly sketch by drawing the belly. From the chest, extend two curved lines and allow them to meet at a sharp point. Wrap some curved shapes to give structure to the belly.
Step 10
Color your simple cute butterfly cartoon. Butterflies come in many different colors and patterns. Will it be orange and black like a monarch butterfly? Green and black like butterfly wings are birds? Or will you create your own unique design?
