How to Draw A Bee – Let's get Started!

Step 1

In this guide on how to draw a bee, we will be starting with the head of your bee. To get this started, you should start with a circle.

Sometimes when a circle is needed for a drawing, I would recommend using a drawing compass for a perfect circle, but in this case, the circle doesn't need to be perfect.

This is one circle that you should do freehand to give it a personal touch.

Step 2 – Add in the first bee wings

Now that we have the head of your bee drawing, we shall start with the wings of your bee. In this step, we shall be adding in two of the wings.

These wings will have a long, rounded shape, with the other one coming from the other wing that's closer to our view. Once you have these wings drawn in, you can move on to the next step.

Step 3 – Draw in another wing and the start of the body

For this step of our guide on how to draw a bee, the first thing you should do is draw in one more wing behind the other ones.

Once you have the last wing drawn in, you can use a rounded line to create the body of the bee.

Step 4 – Add in a face and stinger

Your bee has wings and a body, so now it needs a face and some more details! To start with, let's draw in some eyes for your bee drawing.

The eyes are made up of two long, oval shapes with more ovals within them to form some big eyes.

Once you have the eyes in, you can use curved lines to create a smiling mouth and then also to add two antennae to the head.

For the final bit of this step, you can add two straight lines to the back to form a stinger for your bee.

Step 5 – Give your bee some stripes and legs

This bee drawing of yours is starting to look really great! For these next couple of steps, we shall be adding in some final details.

For this step, we will be adding in some stripes first for your bee. Every bee needs some stripes, so that's why we need them for your drawing! These thin lines will extend along the width of the bee's body.

Next, you can use some long, rounded shapes to the belly of your bee to make some legs. Once you've added in these legs and stripes, then you can move on to the final details!

Step 6 – Finish off the final details of your bee

You've almost completely finished your bee drawing now! Before you can move on to the coloring stage, we will just add in some final details.

First, you can add some thin lines to the wings of your bee. These will form the veiny patterns of your bee's wings. The last few details are ones you can be a bit creative with!

We've shown a few that you can add, such as little hairs poking off the bee and lines to show movement around the wings, but you should add in details that you think would look good!

This is a chance for you to show off your creative skills and flair by adding some fun details to your bee drawing. How will you finish off your awesome drawing?

Step 7 – Finish off your bee drawing with some color

Now that your bee is drawn and you've added in the final details, the last step is to have some fun with colors!

The previous step left room for you to be creative with details, and this step is another one where you can let your creativity flow!

We've shown how we would color in our picture, but you should choose any colors or variations that you love! You can also have some fun with the different art tools and mediums at your disposal!

Some options include acrylic paints, watercolors, colored pens, pencils and crayons to name a few. Maybe you could try out some new mediums that you haven't used before!

You could also have some fun being creative by drawing and coloring in a great background for your bee drawing. What kind of setting do you think you would draw in for your bee?
