Instructions
Tip: Make sure you don’t press too hard on the paper when you draw your pencil lines so that you can correct your mistakes with an eraser as you go through the tutorial.
Step 1: Draw the Bee’s Body
Draw three ovals for the body using a light pencil stroke.
Step 2: Create the Bee’s Head
Draw a small semi-circle rounded line shape for the head.
Step 3: Outline the Body
Use a darker pencil stroke to outline the body.
Step 4: Erase Your Pencil Marks
Erase the pencil marks inside of the drawing.
Step 5: Sketch the Bee’s Wings
In the previous step, we drew the body and the head. Now it is the time to draw bee wings.
- For the top part of the wings, draw a long horizontal curved line coming out of each side of the head.
- For the bottom of the wings, draw another horizontal curved line coming out of the middle of the body.
- Then connect the lines with a vertical wavy line on each side.
Step 6: Draw the Eyes
Draw two half-circle shapes outside the head for the eyes.
Step 7: Draw Two Antennae
Draw two curved lines coming out of each side of the head. Then add a tiny oval shape at the end of each antenna.
Step 8: Draw the Front Legs
Draw two lines that join into a point on each side of the front of the body to create two front legs.
Step 9: Draw the Back Legs
Draw two lines on each side of the back of the body to create two back legs. Make sure they curve around into a point.
Step 10: Draw the Middle Legs
Add the middle legs – make sure these legs curve a bit more than the other legs.
Step 11: Draw the Stripes
Draw a few lines across the bee’s body to create stripes.
Step 12: Draw the Veins
Draw the veins in each wing by adding several small lines in a different directions.
Step 13: Outline Your Drawing
Outline the bee using a darker pencil stroke to make it more visible.
Step 14: Add Details
- Draw a zig-zag shape on top of the stripes using a dark pencil stroke.
- Then shade the bee’s body using your fingers to smudge the pencil.
Step 15: Add Shading
- Shade the black stripes you drew in Step 11 with a darker pencil stroke.
- Add several small zig-zag shapes to the body.
- Shade in the eyes.
Step 2.
Here you will begin sketching out the crooked edgy lining which will form the very mechanical look for Bumblebee.
You will begin forming the lining that shapes out the face and then the mouth area. The brows should hang a bit low. There is other components to add as you tackle this step.
Step 4.
Draw out the small circular eyes as well as the eyebrows. Add the shape to what is supposed to be a nose, then define the face by making the cheeks, and forehead definition.
All you have to do now is draw in other parts to the head which are metal based shapes. Detail the face, then erase what you think shouldn’t be in your drawing.
Step 6.
Here is the finished drawing of Bumblebee. Now you can color this Transformer in as well.

Description: Don’t worry after this submission I won’t be uploading any more lessons on Transformer characters in easy form because I know not many of you like these types of tuts. Although if you would like more of the Transformer based lessons, just let out a holla and I will work on the requests. Enough said about that, let me tell you who you are getting a tutorial on next. Since I did an Optimus Prime tutorial, I thought it would only be right to upload “how to draw Bumblebee easy“, step by step. Bumblebee is another all time favorited character from the Transformer series. He is Sam Witwicky’s yellow Camaro and protector. Bumblebee is lovable, caring and one of the smaller Autobots. Drawing Bumblebee easy will be simple enough for everyone to tackle. I shall return in just a few so stick around if you can.
