PRINTABLE NOTES

Start by drawing lightly at first so you can erase it later.

BEGINNING
Use basic common shapes to work out the basic design.

BODY
The body starts out as a circle in the middle, a longer oval behind the circle and a teardrop shape pointing forward for the head.

WINGS
There are four wings, two on each side. They are like long triangles. The big one is in front of the other small one.

Our drawing only shows one set of wings on the near side, but you can add wings on the other side, just remember the wings on the other side will have fewer details.

Trace around the shapes to give the body smooth lines. Trace around the triangles of the wings to give them roundness; there are some curves on the top of the wing and some wiggly lines on the bottom.

LEGS AND ANTENNA
Use a bent line for each of the three legs. Go around the lines with long oval shapes for the thickness of the legs. The front leg has one long oval, the center leg has two ovals about the same size below the knee joint. The back leg has two ovals, one long one on top and a short more round one at the bottom. There are feet that look like the letter L backward.

The antenna are two bent lines. Go around them and give them thickness.

DETAILS
The eye is another teardrop shape, leave a shiny spot inside.
The stinger is a short triangle at the far back.
The singer is black, and there are four stripes on the back part of the bee.
There are veins in the wings
Use shading to give the bee a look of roundness.
Color the legs, antenna, eye, and stripes black.

Draw a world around your bee. Put her on a flower or some natural place.
