A ladybug with a few bold spots

Sketch a rounded ladybug with a clear shell seam and a small set of bold spots. The simple legs and antennae offer useful placement practice.

A way into the drawing

1. Round the shell

   Draw a broad oval and attach a small head at one end. Curve a short line behind the head to divide the pronotum from the shell.

2. Place the legs and seam

   Run a seam down the shell’s center. Add three short bent legs on each side and two antennae at the head.

3. Space the bold spots

   Arrange a few round spots across the wing cases. Keep open space between them and add only a small gray edge accent.

A small thing to tryPlace the largest spots first and leave room around the center seam rather than making a dense pattern.
