• Continue to form a selected pattern of wings clearly observing the set sizes
• Place the issued eyes between the second and third line
• Duplicate the inner wavy line of the wings, add a body, antennae and legs

How to draw a butterfly with paints and watercolors?

We draw a colorful moth with acrylic paints.

• First of all, we make a sketch of a butterfly using a simple pencil. To do this, select any available method from the above.

In our example, the butterfly looks like this:

• Start with the background design
• Yellow, dark green, blue, black flowers apply the first layer

• Detail the drawing, imposing a thick watercolor in places, and where we need to dilute the paint with water

• We go to the image of a butterfly
• We use colors:

1. red
2. yellow
3. white
4. blue
5. black

• We get the missing tones by mixing existing colors
• Gently apply a thin white layer on the wings
• Add specks with the selected flowers, so far we do not detail anything

• Draw the planned parts with a thin brush
• Do not forget to paint with dots, not strokes

• Add bright saturated contrasts
• Having finished with one wing, we go to the second
• Detail with spot strokes

• Acrylic paint dries instantly, therefore you can immediately apply the white pattern to the existing black

• Coloring the upper wing, go to the lower
• We work in a similar way, as with the first
• Detail the threads of the veins with a thin brush, using a black color diluted to transparent
• We distribute it to darker places of wings

• Having finished with wings, we proceed to the body
• We make it striped, alternating black and white colors
• I imitate the hairy abdomen with explosive strokes

• If you feel not confident, first make sketches with diluted colors, and then detail with rich colors
• We revive the insect, drawing a bright yellow eye on the head
• Parish the eye along the edges with transparent black, in the center we put a white spot
• Add black antennae
• We admire the created pattern
