How to Draw a Bee
- Shape the head.
First, draw an oval-shaped bee head and an eye of the same shape.
- Add details.
On the head of the bee depict two antennae, then depict the mandible of this insect. You also need to detail the bee’s eye by adding a light reflection effect.
- Thorax.
Now you need to depict the next part of the bee body—this is the thorax. Sketch it in the form of a fluffy circle as shown.
- Add body parts.
In this step, you need to draw the first bee wing. In addition to this wing, depict the forelegs of the insect.
- Middle part.
Draw the middle bee legs and the second wing.
- Add the abdomen.
The turn has come to draw the largest part of the bee body—this is the belly. Draw the bee’s abdomen in a pointed shape, and use curved lines for this, as in the example. The bee tail should be pointed, since it is at the tip that the bee sting is located.
- Add stripes.
On the bee’s abdomen, depict stripes that you will need to color in yellow and black.
- Add legs.
Draw the longest limbs of the bee, which are the hind limbs.
- Color the bee.
