Butterfly with Wing Patterns

Butterfly with Wing Patterns is a classic animal motif. Animal coloring pages are among the most popular of all. Coloring them helps children discover the shapes and characteristics of familiar and exotic animals while mixing colors freely. Realistic or wild with pink manes and blue spots: anything goes.

For the butterfly with wing patterns, fine-tipped colored pencils or fineliner markers work best. The symmetrical patterns on the wings require patience – color one side first and then use it as a guide for the other wing. Use yellow, orange, and violet for vibrant contrasts. You can trace the fine lines of the patterns with dark gray or black to create depth. The body looks attractive in rich dark brown. For extra details, try metallic pencils or glitter.
