Exotic Butterfly

Exotic Butterfly 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 this exotic butterfly, work with vibrant, warm colors: combine bright turquoise, magenta, and golden yellow for the wing patterns. The fine details require thin markers or fine felt-tip pens – start with the large wing areas, then add the details. Use black or dark blue for the outlines and elegant antennae. Try color gradients: let one color gently transition into the next to create depth. Make the center stripe of the body dark and velvety to suggest volume.
