Learn More About The Luna Moth Drawing
Luna moths are famous for their broad green wings. Learn how to draw a luna moth that you can frame and hang up in your room.
The luna moth's upper wings look like broad heart shapes, while their lower wings resemble skirts with a ribbon at the bottom.
If you keep these basic shapes in mind, you'll easily make the wings look like mirror images. This step-by-step guide uses soft shading to capture the wings' feathery texture.
The shadows are only a shade or two darker than the base color for a subtle effect. Since the tops of the wings are more solid, they have darker shadows.
