How to draw a bee and butterfly best friends step by step
How to Draw a Bee and Butterfly Best Friends · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Top of the head
Start at the left of the head and draw a curved line up and over, then down the right side. It looks like the top and right side of a big round head. Leave the bottom left open for now.
Step 2: Finish head, start body
Finish the head with a curve along the lower left, connecting back to where you started. Then draw the round bottom of the body underneath, with a small pointy stinger on the left. Fill the stinger in dark.
Step 3: Wing, stripe and face
Draw a big round wing behind the head on the left. Add a curved stripe across the body and fill it in dark. Then give the bee two small dot eyes and a tiny smile.
Step 4: Antennae
Draw two short curved lines going up from the top of the head. Put a little ball at the end of each one.
Step 5: Butterfly wings
On the right, draw a big wavy wing shaped like a soft cloud. Add a smaller rounded wing hanging below it, joined at the left.
Step 6: Back wing and feelers
Draw a second, narrower wing peeking out above the big one. Then add two little curved feelers at the top left, where the wings meet.
Step 7: Butterfly eye
Add one round dot for the butterfly's eye on the left side of its body, facing the bee.
Step 8: A heart between friends
Draw a heart floating above the space between the two friends. Make two bumps on top that meet in a point at the bottom, then fill it in.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a bee and butterfly best friends
- Draw the bee's head first and let the wing and body tuck behind it. It is okay if the head overlaps them.
- The stripe is curved, not straight. Follow the round shape of the body so the bee looks plump.
- Butterfly wings have wavy edges. Draw them slowly in a few soft bumps, and do not worry about making both sides match.

Bee and butterfly best friends fun fact for kids
Bees and butterflies both help flowers make seeds. When they visit a flower for a sip of nectar, pollen sticks to their bodies and gets carried to the next flower.
Questions about drawing a bee and butterfly best friends
What shapes do I need to draw a bee and butterfly?
You need circles and ovals for the bee's head, body and wing, plus a curved line for the stripe. The butterfly uses rounded cloud-like shapes for its wings.
How do I make my bee look cuter?
Keep the eyes small and close together, and add a tiny smile beside them. A big round head and a chubby body make it look extra sweet.
How do I draw butterfly wings that look even?
Start with the big wavy wing and add the smaller wing hanging below it. They do not need to match perfectly, since soft wobbly edges look natural and friendly.
