New DIY contest week17// MY DIY collection contest

My inspiration

Greetings, everyone!
I want to appreciate @mesola for putting up this contest.
One of my happy moments is when making a drawing. Today, I decided to try making a drawing of a butterfly.

First of, I got the items needed to make the drawing. The items are;

• A4 paper
• Pencil
• Sharpener
• Eraser

Here, I bordered the A4 paper and drew the surface on which the butterfly landed. I also made a sketch of the butterfly's head part, its legs and wings.

Next, I added the linings on the wings and other little details that were left out in the last step.

Here, I designed the wings of the butterfly making it look more real and added its antenna too.

The last step I took here was to detail the head part of the butterfly.

Hope I was able to make this drawing look a bit like the inspiration.

Growing up was very interesting for me as each time I wake up and step out of the house, I would always see a butterfly perching on a flower and the scene is always a beautiful one. The combination of the butterfly's colour and that of the flower gives a beautiful sight.

Each time I go to visit my parents, my kid brother will always go out to find a butterfly, bring it home, admire it for a while and let it go. This memory is always with me such that each time it pops up on my mind, I would find myself smiling.

Stepping outside the house this morning, I saw a butterfly flying off. It's been a while since I saw a butterfly around where I stay and so I decided to source for a beautiful one and make a drawing of it.

Kids are attracted to drawings that are colourful and beautiful. This drawing if coloured can be used to teach kids the letter B of the alphabet since the word butterfly begins with the letter B. Some older kids may want to learn how to immortalize a butterfly using drawing and with this they can actualize their dream.

What I have made is also useful because I plan to colour it just like the inspiration and gift it to my kid brother to use in beautifying his room that way, whenever he doesn't find a butterfly to admire when he goes out, he'd always have one to admire in the house.

I intend to inspire my kid brother. He started practicing how to draw and colour at age 7 and I have been impressed by his progress. He is 9 years old now and he is always practicing.

Although he is not here with me, having these steps and the final drawing saved up in my drive, I intend inspiring him to try a more complicated drawing like this when I get back home and with this, his knowledge of creativity will increase.

I wish to invite @nsijoro,@roselove and @imadear to join in this contest.
