1
Draw light first
Keep your first lines soft, then press harder once you like the shape.
2
Curve the stripes
Curved stripes make the body look round and puffy.
3
Wings behind
Draw the wings after the body and only where they stick out, so they sit behind it.
4
Light wings
Color the wings very softly so they look see through.
5
Go over the final lines
Trace your drawing with a darker pencil or a black pen so it stands out after coloring.
6
Add a flower
Draw a flower under the bee so it has somewhere to land.
