In this post, I share several cute and easy butterfly drawing ideas that I created. I’ve also included a drawing with step-by-step instructions for how to draw a butterfly.
Remember, don’t worry about being perfect with your butterfly drawings. These are meant to be simple, just let your creativity flow onto paper.
So, grab your sketch pad and pencil, and let’s get started with these easy butterfly drawing ideas!

6. Step-By-Step How To Draw An Easy Butterfly
Step 1: Start by drawing the head of the butterfly with antennae. I like to use a circle for the head and then two lines coming up from the top of the circle for the antennae.
Step 2: Draw the body of the butterfly. This can be a long oval shape with a point on the bottom.
Step 3: Draw the top wings. The top wings extend out from where the base of the head and the body meet on each side.
Step 4: Draw the bottom wings.
Step 5: Draw designs on the inside of the butterfly wings. You can follow the pattern of the shape of the wings or try something entirely different.
I love to experiment with a variety of different shaped wings and wing designs.
