Use a vibrant orange for the main wing panels and a deep, rich black for the outlines and veins. Layering the orange can create a beautiful, fiery depth.
After coloring, use a fine-tipped white gel pen to carefully place the iconic white dots along the edges of the wings. This small detail brings the butterfly to life!
Bring the coneflower to life with warm shades of pink and purple for the petals. A touch of yellow or light brown in the center will add a realistic texture.
For the background, consider a soft, out-of-focus look. Use light greens and blues, blended smoothly, to ensure the butterfly and flower remain the stars of the show.
