This post is all about some wonderful butterfly drawing ideas for kids and adults.
Painting is a great way to relieve stress.
Drawing is one of my favorite things to do. All I need is some pencils and colors to beat stress.
If you are looking for easy things to draw, I would suggest you try drawing some butterflies.
I love to sit in the backyard at night and gaze at the beautiful butterflies.
You can experiment with line art or make a detailed drawing of their wings.
Start with a simple sketch. Once you finalize it, make an outline with a pen and then finally color it. Erase the pencil lines once you are done finalizing the painting with an ink pen.
You can either draw it in a notebook or use a digital platform for creating your artwork.
If you are a beginner, don’t worry about making your drawing perfect. Just enjoy the process and everything will fall into place.
Once you get comfortable with a hand sketch, try to create digital artwork as it looks more aesthetic and professional. Moreover, you can monetize it!
Yes! You can monetize digital artwork in various ways! But I will talk about it in another post.
