This monarch butterfly drawing tutorial with simple steps was created in conjunction with my how to paint a butterfly step-by-step tutorial. You can even draw a butterfly in this abstract butterfly painting.
Other ideas is to color it in with crayons, markers, watercolors- it would even make a nifty rock painting idea. You can get creative and both draw and color your butterfly with different colors and patterns!

Draw 2 curved lines from the top of part of body (on either side). Try to make these lines equal in length and arch.
How To Draw: A Butterfly Drawing
Draw 2 curved lines from the bottom part of the body (on either side). Make lines both the same length and arch.
Draw a squiggly line to connect the top of the wing to the middle (horizontal) line. Do this for both sides of the wing
Draw 2 semi-circles connected the diagonal lines from last step and bottom arch lines. Your butterfly overall shape is now complete. Take a step back and make sure both sides are looking roughly equal. Take this chance to fix any areas that stick out.
