How To Draw A Realistic Dragonfly

Hello friends, today we are going to

draw

another insect. What are we going to

draw

this time? A

dragonfly

. It will be really cool. We hope you will follow us. They need their drawing materials and also some paper and something to go with it. Yes, are you ready? To start, yes, let's draw the head first and we'll draw it here towards the top of our paper so that we have room for the big, long body. We're going to draw an oval shape of this size, right here is the head. and then we could also draw maybe this is the shape of the mouth and then let's divide the eyes in half and then we'll draw the thorax, which is the body, let's start here. draw an oval shape that goes down and then goes back up or a kind of U shape, an oval that doesn't complete at the top, yeah, because it's connected to the head, there you go, now let's draw the abdomen and that's the true On the long part of the

dragonfly

we're going to start here and we're going to draw a line that goes down like this and maybe stops there, so this is the left side and then we're going to draw the right side that goes down and they come closer here and then we're going to leave a little space at the bottom and then we're going to connect these two lines with a curve.

Now at the end, let's draw an inverted v and then we'll draw a curve. to connect that v to the abdomen, then let's connect the other side up also great, now we can add segments, let's draw lines that cross to the chest, now let's draw the legs, let's draw a leg straight up or diagonally to the left actually he looks very happy, yeah, his legs are celebrating up there, so we're going to draw this leg bent, so we're going to draw it bending a little bit to the right and then we can draw a little hook. at the end we can also color if you have a little space in those legs now let's draw the other leg on the other side and we will simply repeat the same steps, we will draw a thin letter u upside down colored and then we are going to bend the leg going in the other direction and then a little hook at the end, okay, now let's draw the next leg, we're going to draw it right next to the first one, but we're going to draw it coming out. to the side more we want to make sure that we also draw the legs very thin so that it doesn't look too strong and then we'll draw this leg bent a little bit more up and I'm going to color In this first segment as well, let's draw a little foot or a hook at the final.

You can also add small spikes on that leg. Okay, now let's draw the other leg on the other side and we're going to draw it symmetrical so we can draw it. going in the same direction to the other side and then color it and let's bend this leg up like the other side color it and then a little hook at the end for the foot and we went a lot faster that time because we're repeating the same steps, I like those little spikes at the end, okay, now let's draw the last leg on each side, let's draw it coming back like this, so we're going to draw a very thin U shape and we can bend it to come out a little bit. more and then I'm going to draw a little hook at the end oh, this looks really cool even without the wings.

Now let's draw the other leg going down the other side and then we'll draw a curvature a little bit more and a hook at the end oh we could also add little spikes on this leg, what should we draw next, the wings? Yes, let's do it, let's draw the wings, let's draw first, let's draw a small oval right in the middle of the body, this is where the wings are going to come from and then we're going to draw another type of U shape that looks like we're repeating the same shape as the dragonfly, it looks like a little baby dragonfly on the back, okay, now let's try it.

The first wing we're going to draw coming out to the left, so we're going to curve out of this top oval, we're going to curve like this, so I I curved up and then I started going down and then we're going to Let's make the same type of shape, we'll start here and go straight out and then right at the end we'll curve down before we get to the edge of the paper. Okay, now let's go. to start here and we're going to curve again like this and then we're going to curve up almost to where we started, let's repeat the same shape but now on the other side, so we're going to start here, going up a little bit and then start going down and it's okay if they don't look exactly the same on both sides we're practicing okay, we're going to draw this next bulge and then right at the end we're going to curve down and then we're going to curve in again and then right at the end we're going to curve up and almost connect where we start is the first pair of wings, they have one more set right below this one, so let's start here. to trace where we were go out a little bit more and then curve down like we did on this wing the wings are really fun to draw yeah now we're going to curve here at the end we're going to come back under the foot we're going to curve to the side of the body and then almost to where we started, that looks really good, okay, now let's do the same thing on the other side, we'll start here, go out and try to look at the other side. so it's symmetrical and then we're going to curve again under the foot on the leg and then curve towards the body and in Hadley we did that, we finished drawing our dragonfly, it looks great, except we're not completely done.

I still need to color it yes that will look great after coloring this part we are going to fast forward so remember to pause the video and take the time to color your drawings are you ready to fast forward hello give me five we did it we finished drawing and coloring our dragonfly yes, It looks much better all colored yes, I think so too. I hope our friends take the time to pause the video and color their drawings. Also, if you have the same set of semester markers, we use blue, yellow, and green. the blue we use is b205 yes and then the yellow is y107 we use two greens, a light green g503 and the dark green we use is g515 yes and then we also use a very light warm gray wg01 for the wings and then at the end we use a pencil black to add the texture lines on the wings to make them look even more

realistic

.

We also used a white colored pencil on the thorax, but you can also color your dragonflies however you want. You can also make the wings colorful. We hope you had a lot of fun drawing dragonflies we hope you had a lot of fun and see you later our friends goodbye
