How to Draw a Ladybug
What you need:
- our printable template (optional, you can grab it at the end of the tutorial)
- paper
- your favorite marker
- coloring supplies (optinal).
Step 1
Start by drawing a circle or an oval shape. This will be the body of your ladybug.
Step 2
Draw a curved line from right to the left.
Step 3
Draw a straight line from top to bottom – stop just before you reach the oval shape. Draw a little “triangle”.
Step 4
Draw dots. It can be 7 as this is the most popular number when it comes to ladybugs, but you can draw more of them or less of them if you want. If drawing 7, draw one between both wings, and 3 on each of the wings.
Step 5
Draw antennae and legs. You can make the antennae straight, curvy or even a bit spiral.
Step 6
Draw the eyes. Also draw dots on the end of antennae and legs. This will make your drawing look even cuter.
Step 7
Grab your favorite coloring supplies and color in your ladybug drawing.
If you want to give it a bit of dimension, color it a bit darker around the edges.
