To draw a fly, you will need a simple pencil, a sheet of paper and a little time. During the first few steps, you should avoid applying too much pressure; it is better to use light, smooth strokes.
Step 1
To draw a fly, you should start with the chest. Make a light sketch of a circle. Leave enough space on the sides for the rest of the body and head.
Step 2
Draw a wide arc on the left side of the circle to complete the sketch for the fly's thorax.
Step 3
Step 4
Draw several curved lines around the circle to complete the abdomen. Two to connect to the chest on the right and one thin one on the left in the lower abdomen.
Step 5
Draw a small circle on the right side of the chest. This will be the head.
Draw a U-shaped arc around the circumference as a guide for the bottom half of the fly's head.
Step 7
Draw a small curved line under the head (sketch of the mouth). Then you need to add another long and thin arc from the chest to the middle of the abdomen. These are future wings.
Step 8
Apply three curved lines(legs) under the body of the fly. Please pay special attention on the fold line. Later the joints will be located there. The first two legs point forward, while the back one looks back. Drawing a fly with a pencil step by step is not at all difficult, the main thing is not to rush and not to press the pencil too hard. The initial sketch is ready! From this moment on, you can press the pencil harder so that the drawing begins to take on more defined features.
Step 9
Draw a large connection in the head to form the eye, which should take up enough space most of space. The shape is slightly oval with a flatter left side.
Step 10
Draw a short, downward-facing antenna on the right side of the head using a series of small segments.
Step 11
Change the initial shape of the head slightly, making the top a little thinner and the bottom a little wider. Add a couple of lines on the left side to connect to the ribcage.
Step 12
Use the line below the fly's head as a guide to draw the mouthparts or lips. This simplified version includes a number of different sized segments.
Step 13
Draw small, hair-like strands around the fly's head. Use quick, short strokes different sizes to create a cannon.
Step 14
Use the line on the right side as a guide to draw the front leg, which consists of six segments.
Step 15
The second line serves as a guide for the second leg on the right side of the fly's body. Following the main path of the guide line, the foot is divided into five segments of different shapes and sizes.
Step 16
Use the line on the left as a guide to draw the third leg, which is on this side of the fly's body. Draw five separate segments. Make sure all the legs come from the chest and not the stomach.
Step 17
Use the arc at the top of the fly's body as a guide to apply the wings. Extend the line so that the base of the wing is inside the rib cage. Add another line above the wing that will be parallel to the shape of the wing on the other side.
Step 18
With a focus on the initial shapes of the body with more confident strokes, you need to slightly modify the fly's chest, making the left side smoother. The lines of the chest should not overlap the paws.
Step 19
Then darken the original guide lines on the left to highlight the shape of the abdomen.
Step 20
Draw the same three legs on the other side of the body. They should be similar, but a little smaller and thinner. Bend them and add the same segments. Make sure they don't overlap the leg lines on the right side.
Step 21 (optional)
For a cleaner look, erase the excess from the first guide lines.
How to draw a fly: final step
Add shading to your drawing to give it more dimension and dimension. Add cast shadows between the legs. This helps ground the fly. Use darker lines near the middle of the shadow, keeping the edges a little lighter. Add more fluff to the legs and entire body using quick, short strokes.
How to draw a fly is now clear, but even more value can be added to the drawing with the help of additional details. A shinier texture can be added to the upper eye junction area by varying the pressure on the pencil to achieve varying degrees of tonality. You can also add some color, blue and green.
To do this, draw a small triangle with equal sides. Draw two ovals on the sides - this is the future fly. They must be positioned so that they protrude slightly beyond the sides of the triangle. Since the fly has compound eyes, shade the ovals with light lines in two directions. Closer to the top of the triangle, draw antennas (antennae). Draw thin hairs on them.
Next you need to draw the chest. From the bottom of the triangle, draw an elongated semi-oval. Then draw the abdomen, which should be shaped like the fly's thorax, but slightly longer. Draw stripes on the abdomen to show its shape.
Draw the front legs. To do this, draw two parallel lines from the chest to the side, slightly upward. Then rotate the lines vertically upward. Turn to the side and slightly up again. Draw the middle legs. They begin at the intersection of the chest and abdomen. Draw according to the same principle, only the direction of the lines should go slightly up and to the side, and then in an arc down and up. The hind legs follow the same steps as the front ones, only in the opposite direction, that is, down.
Draw. They start from the junction of the chest and abdomen. The wings should be slightly longer than the abdomen. Draw a mesh pattern on the wings to represent the tiny obturator muscle system.
Draw thin hairs on all the legs and along the contour of the abdomen. Erase the extra lines. Place many on the head, chest and abdomen, since this is how you see the short hairs on top. The fly is ready.

Using only simple pencils of varying softness, you can draw a very realistic fly. It is better to do this in stages - first create the base of the insect, then draw some details brighter, add volume, shadows and light.
Fly sitting half-turned
You can draw a fly based on a base of two or three ovals. Start with the first method, creating an insect from two basic shapes. To do this, draw a small oval on the left side of the sheet - the head of an insect. From this figure to the right there is a larger oval. This is the body of a fly. Place the wings from the sides of the body in both directions. These will be more elongated ovals, slightly pointed at the end. The wings of an insect are approximately 1.5-2 times larger than its body - pay attention to this when creating your artistic masterpiece.
Since this is a half-turn fly pattern, the wings do not lie on the same line. Draw the wing at the back slightly higher than the first. The fly has 6 legs. The first 2 come out from under the oval head. Draw the next pair at the intersection of the first and second oval. The third pair comes out from the middle of the second body oval.
Draw two large round eyes on the head. Draw a small proboscis. It is straight - slightly forked at the end. You can draw small hairs on the paws.
Now you need to give the drawing texture. Take a medium-hard pencil and use it to make strokes on the insect’s body. Leave a light spot in the middle. This will give the drawing volume.
Add texture to the wings. Draw soft with a simple pencil several veins on them. Leave the wings themselves unshaded. After all, they are transparent.
Fly sitting upright
Using this template, you can draw a fly that sits upright and is looked at from above. The details of the head and body lie on the same line. The ovals are already round. The difference between the size of the head and body is small. The head looks up.
Three pairs of legs and wings are arranged symmetrically. Between the second and third paws on one side and the other, mark the wings. They go at an angle of 45 degrees. Hard pencil outline them. You can use a pencil to create veins inside the wings or leave the wings that way. Add volume to the body and head using strokes, leaving a light spot on the body.
The body and head of the insect are made of three ovals
Flies are different. The heroine of this picture may consist of three ovals. The first is the head. It is slightly smaller than the other two. These are parts of her body. Draw the insect in profile. The head is on the right. To the left of it, draw an oval, 3 times larger. Close to it is another one of the same size. The wings of this specimen are located between these two body parts. Since the fly is sitting in profile, place one wing above the other. They run almost horizontally, rising slightly upward.
From this angle, only 3 legs of the insect are visible. One extends down from the middle of the head, the second is located between the 2nd and 3rd ovals. The third one comes out from the middle of the 3rd.
Add touches of volume. The fly drawing is ready.
Fly-Tsokotuha - famous character from a children's poem written by Soviet poet Korney Chukovsky. The poet wrote about the Tsokotukha Fly, who bought a samovar at the market and solemnly celebrated her birthday. The Spider came from somewhere and kidnapped the Fly, but Mosquito flew to the birthday girl’s aid - he saved the Fly and married her.
According to the plot of the poem in Soviet era a cartoon was made. Many people remember and love this legendary work with funny characters drawn. The work of Korney Chukovsky is still relevant today, and the cute faces of the characters evoke interest and a smile in modern kids.
How to draw the Tsokotukha Fly
To recreate a character from children's cartoon, you can try to draw a fly in profile, sitting straight or in full height. How to draw a Cluttering Fly sitting upright? To do this, you will need a blank sheet of paper, an eraser and a regular pencil.
Using this example, you can depict an insect that sits upright, as if being watched from above. The head and body are located on the same straight line. The drawn elements should be slightly rounded. The head needs to be depicted in size smaller than the body of the Fly.
The 3 pairs of legs and wings of the insect are arranged symmetrically. And between the 2nd and 3rd paws, on both sides, Tsokotukha needs to draw wings that will go at an angle of 45°. You definitely need to go over the contour with a pencil a couple of times. On the inside of the wing - to create a vein - lightly draw a line. Using lines, you can add volume to the body and head of the insect, indicating a light spot on the body.
Tsokotukha fly in profile
The insect can also be depicted in profile. How about from this perspective? You need to draw 3 ovals. One of which should be made a little smaller - this will be the head, which is best placed on the right side. To the left of the head you need to draw an oval, 2.5 times larger, and between them another one - approximately the same size as the one on the left. The insect's wings must be positioned so that they are located between these parts of the body.
The Buzzing Fly sits in profile, so one wing must be drawn above the other. This way they will visually appear slightly raised up. Looking at Tsokotukha from this angle, 3 legs will be noticeable. The first needs to be drawn from the middle of the head - down, the second - between the 2nd and 3rd elements, and the third - from the middle of the 3rd oval. Then you can paint over the body with lines to create volume.
How to draw the Tsokotukha Fly step by step
How to draw the Tsokotukha Fly to make the drawing more colorful? To do this, you can paint the resulting beauty with multi-colored pencils or a marker.
As it turned out, drawing the Tskotukha Fly with a pencil is not particularly difficult!
The fly is a representative of the order Diptera of the Class Insects of the Arthropoda Type. Flies come in different genera and species. Usually the common or gray fly is found in human dwellings. There is also a green fly, a larger blowfly, etc. The fly has six segmented legs, and always only two well-developed wings. Usually the fly has very well developed big eyes on the sides of the head, they are complex and each eye consists of many smaller simple ocelli.
Flies are very nasty and harmful insects. They crawl on food and can spread germs and bacteria on their paws. Thus, they influence the spread of contagious infectious diseases in humans. Therefore, flies must be destroyed. But it is still an interesting natural object. And here we will learn how to draw it step by step.
Stage 1. Draw a straight line along the vertical of the landscape sheet. Approximately, starting from the middle of the leaf, we outline the contours of the two parts of the fly’s body. These are figures similar to ovals, but the top one has uneven edges. In the center there is an almost triangular figure between two oval ones. Starting from these figures, we will draw the body of a fly.
Stage 2. Ahead of the first figure, draw lines for the head. Then we designate two large wings, which with their planes almost cover the body of the fly from above.
Stage 3. We will draw many lines along the wings of the fly. They are located along, across, and obliquely. This is us showing the veins of the wings. A fly has a lot of veins on its wings. They form a kind of mesh. The cells between the veins at the base of the wings are small, at the ends they are very large.
Stage 4. Now it's time to show the limbs of the fly. Two pairs of legs are clearly visible from above. They consist of several segments. Covered with hairs, we will depict this in the form of small strokes on the segments. The hind legs (third pair) are visible through the wings.
Stage 5. On the body of the fly we draw hairs in the form of small lines, densely covering the back. Three large stripes on the fly's abdomen are visible through the wings.
Stage 7. We have just a magnificent large fly. This is her black and white version.
Stage 8. You can leave your drawing in black and white, or you can color it. Here we have depicted a very bright, downright elegant fly with a metallic blue coloration of the body and abdomen. Its eyes are bright brown, and its legs and main outlines are bright black. You also need to remember about the dark and light areas of the color and be sure to show the highlights of light on its body. The wings are gray, with whitish veins; we draw them transparent.
