Good morning people and welcome to Stinky's Art Class where we have the best students in the world! Today's lesson is how to draw a monarch butterfly.

Okay, this is a really good lesson. Okay and lots of art lovers are gonna like this one. Okay, but the first thing we need to do is draw the monarch butterfly's body and we gotta draw its head. His little eyes and this little antenna. And then the monarch butterfly is a special butterfly and I'm hoping I'm getting the shape right. I'm trying my best, if you try your best, it's good enough. You'd be a winner if you try your best.
Okay now, they have these little circles around them. Okay, monarch butterflies have these little circles and then they have this. Okay class, I'm gonna have to do a little shading right here. This may take a minute, but monarch butterflies kind of have a little bit of black all around their wings. So, we want to put the black in there.
I just had different expectations for myself and what I'm getting out of this, I saw it differently in my head. I felt like it was going to be a little bit different. Okay class, I gotta give myself some positive talk because you never know if it might turn out looking good.
Okay, so monarch butterflies have the dark black around there. Okay, oh, this is my interpretation of the monarch butterfly. Okay, and then they have these beautiful little things. Okay all right, it's okay if you know you're working on something and then you need to change it. It's okay, that might be me in a minute.
So, this is a monarch butterfly. They have white dots and then they have black around it. And then they're like this beautiful orangey-red color and here's the beautiful thing about it, this is just one monarch butterfly.
These monarch butterflies are actually okay. I'm gonna have to just do this from now on. Do you see that they're migrating? Okay, let's try to perfect this. I'm trying to perfect that, that way and you have to improvise. You have to change it.
Okay, at first I thought I was going to do this amazing, realistic monarch butterfly. And I think it's okay, but it's not what I had in my mind. You know, I need to try it again, but then I thought about monarchs and they actually flutter a lot. So, these monarch butterflies are migrating and this one just happened to come down.
And then let's try this guy again, let's just do them smaller. And let's do the reverse color, that might give the appearance of that. Yeah, there you go. Is that better? Okay, I think you may need to back off a little bit. Okay so, that's just sometimes how things are.
Okay class, I hope you're having a great day. Thanks for attending class today, thanks for all your follows, likes, and comments. If you ever get a chance to see a migration of monarch butterflies, take a moment and just enjoy it. Those butterflies are beautiful. We're in winter now, but, you know, come springtime, these beautiful creatures will be everywhere, so have a great day. And we'll see you soon.
