BEGINNING STEPS
The first lines make the basic shape. Start with a curve for the front of the wing. Halfway across, draw a line down to mark where the body goes. Draw two lines going down and out like an upside-down "V" these start just below where the neck would be.
WINGS
The back of the wing is six short curving lines connected together. Start from the outside edge of the wing and draw a little of each one. Go back and forth between the wing to be sure to keep everything matching.
DETAILS OF WINGS
Draw the wing patterns evenly by copying back and forth on each side as you go; if you try to do all one side, then the other wing won't match. The top wing has a line going out away from the body to the tip and then three lines going down from it. The bottom wing has a teardrop-shaped line next to the big dividing line (that dividing line is a wide line). There are three teardrop-shaped lines coming off, the first going downward.
There are two rows of dots at the back edge. You might try to draw a row of figure "8"s to get them even. On the tip of the wing are four rows of dots; the second row has three big dots.
Color the outline black. Try a sharpie. Color the wings orange and red. The dots say white except for the three big dots at the edge. Color the background blue or green.
