Steps To Draw A Ladybug
You can follow our video tutorial also. You can see the short preview of today’s tutorial in the image below. Follow the detailed stepwise guide below to draw a Ladybug.
Step 1: Draw a Circle
We’ll begin by drawing a perfect circle as shown in the image above. The circle represent the body of the ladybug. You can use a compass or any circular object to draw this. We prefer to use a pen or black marker to outline the drawing. This circle will be the body of the ladybug.
Step 2: Draw Ladybug Head
Now, draw three lines at the top of the circle, leaving a bit of space for the head of the ladybug as depicted in the drawing above.
Step 3: Draw Ladybug Eyes
Then, draw two small circles inside the gap that we left in step 2 for the eyes of the ladybug as shown in the image above.
Step 4: Sketch Ladybug Legs
Now, draw three legs of the ladybug on the right side as shown in the image above. Start by sketching a small line and bend at the end.
Step 5: Draw Remaining Legs
Now, draw another three legs of the ladybug on the left side as shown in the image above. Start by sketching a small line and bend at the end.
Step 6: Sketch Ladybug Antenna
After that, draw antennas at the top of the head of the ladybug. In the big circle or the body of the ladybug, draw a straight line in the middle for the elytra as shown in the drawing above.
Step 7: Draw Spots
Lastly, draw small circles for the eyes as shown in the drawing. Inside the elytra, draw small circles all over for the ladybug spots as depicted in the drawing above. We haven’t drawn wings as wings are inside of elytra. You could modify the drawing if you wish to draw wings too.
Coloring a Ladybug
After completing the ladybug drawing, we can proceed to color it. For coloring, we have chosen some basic colors. You can fill the color according to your preference.
We used black color for the head and spots on the body of the ladybug. For the remaining part, we used orange color.
Colour Details:
- Black

After coloring, we get a cute ladybug. You can use a pencil color (We made it digital).
