Nicki, who's from Merced, California did
this sketch for us. She also did a colored
one using oil crayons to blend some crazy colors. You can use our color
ideas or make up your own.
COLORS: Coloring your butterfly is
the best part. On the drawing above, we indicated red and black colors,
but don't limit your drawing to just those. Rain-forest butterflies come
in beautiful and varied colors. For example, the male blue morpho
butterfly, has bright blue metallic wings, the female blue morpho, has
pale blue wings with white spots around the edges. Our little butterfly
below is green and hot pink. Unless you are trying to make
a very exact, scientific drawing of a butterfly, in which the color and
markings need to be duplicated carefully, you can't make a mistake So be
creative with your colors.
