In most species, the female is larger than the male, and females usually live longer too. There are thousands of species of butterflies.Their wings consist of tiny scales, each a different color. Butterflies taste with their feet and they have four wings.
Butterflies live on every continent except Antarctica.Butterflies hide from enemies by changing their appearance to blend into leaves, bark, and other surfaces.The size of butterflies can range from 1 inch to 12 inches.They will not fly unless their body temperature is at least 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Butterflies have exoskeletons, which means that their skeletons are on the outside of their bodies.They’re born as crawling caterpillars and change into fluttering butterflies. Similar to snowflakes, no two butterflies have the same pattern on their wings.īutterflies go through a process called metamorphosis.
Beyond that, it’s simply learning the tricks of communicating with your viewer, helping your hand to develop and staying out of your own head.Every butterfly species is unique. The trick is teaching your eye to lead your hand, rather than trying to get your hand to follow your head (which is usually confused and doesn’t exactly know what it’s doing anyway!). I originally created this drawing on an instagram live video, so at some points you’ll notice that I answer questions or respond as though there are people there with me… because at the time of the recording, there kind of was people there with me! But the content was too good to keep on Instagram, so I decided to rework the video a little bit and put it up on YouTube for all of you!ĭrawing realistically can be intimidating, but if you’ve been around here for very long at all, you know that I’m a firm believer that ANYONE CAN LEARN TO DRAW. With so many watercolor butterfly tutorials, I thought it was hiiigh time that we had a drawing tutorial for these delicate, fluttering insects! So here we are: How to draw a realistic butterfly!
