Frequently asked questions

What colors can I give a dragonfly?
Dragonflies often have bright colors like blue, green, or even red with shiny wings.
Do I need to use a ruler?
You can, but drawing freehand makes your dragonfly extra playful and unique.
What if one wing is larger than the other?
No problem, in nature nothing is exactly the same either; that's what makes your drawing look real.
How do I draw the wings transparent?
Color them very lightly with light blue or gray and let some of the white of the paper show through.
