Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing an Easy Bee
How to Draw a Great Looking Easy Bee for Kids, Beginners, and Adults - Step 1
1. Begin the easy bee outline by drawing its face. Enclose partial oval shapes, flattened on the bottoms, for the eyes. Draw a smaller oval inside each eye. Then, draw an "M" shaped line above the eyes and bring it around to outline the face. Use curved lines for the smiling mouth and the dimple at its corner.
