Drawing Materials and Techniques

Before we dive into the tutorial, let’s quickly go over the materials you’ll need. While I personally use an iPad Pro and an Apple Pencil for my digital art, you can use any tool you like. Whether it’s a pen and paper, color pencils, Copic markers, or even Photoshop, the drawing method remains the same. So, feel free to use whatever you’re comfortable with.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Now, let’s begin drawing our cute kawaii bee. Follow these simple instructions to create your own delightful artwork:

1. Start with the Bee’s Body

To capture the essence of this tiny insect, we’ll begin by drawing a simple oval shape. This will serve as the bee’s body.

2. Add Stripes to the Body

Next, let’s give the bee its signature stripes. Draw two concentric semi-circles on the left side of the body, creating a brown stripe. We’ll color this in later. Then, draw another line at the bottom of the bee, leaving some space between the two stripes.

3. Create the Facial Features

It’s time to bring the bee to life with its cute face. Draw two small eyes and a “u” shaped mouth in the middle of the eyes. This standard kawaii face can be used when drawing cute faces on various animals and food.

4. Draw the Wings

To complete the bee’s appearance, add its wings. Draw two small tear drop shapes on top of the bee’s body, in the center. These will be the bee’s wings.

5. Final Touches

Almost done! Now, let’s add the finishing details. Draw a small pointy triangle near the bee’s bottom to represent the sting. Then, draw simple legs at the bottom of the bee. You don’t have to draw all four legs since one will be hidden behind the bee. Remember, simplicity is key for that adorable kawaii look.

6. Coloring the Bee

It’s time to add some color! Start by coloring the bee’s body with a mild yellow shade. Feel free to experiment with different shades of yellow, like lemon yellow, to make your bee even more vibrant. Then, color the stripes with a rich, dark chocolate brown. Don’t forget to color the legs and the sting as well. For the wings, choose a light blue shade to add a touch of color. Lastly, add two cute pink blush spots on the bee’s cheeks to give it that extra kawaii effect.

7. Your Kawaii Bee is Complete!

Voila! You’ve successfully learned how to draw and color a cute kawaii bee. Wasn’t that easy? You can now proudly display your artwork or even give it as a gift to someone special. Remember, you can use any color you desire to make your bee unique.
