Show me your cheek butterflies!

I am having so much trouble with them! I'm not too bad at doing 'flitting' butterflies (the side view) but my cheek butterflies where you can see both wings are terrible. Help me out!

The one in your avatar looks great!

yeah your avatar looks fine... perhaps practice some and then show pictures of what you are talking about... we can then critique your work.

Suzy your Avatar Pic is KILLING ME!!! You actually do look a bit like Bella! *coughs and looks around* TEAM EDWARD!

lol... he is so hot *drool*

LMAO! I prefer Ice over Fire though! Can't wait for the last movie!
*sighs* Edward!

Okay back on the topic. I haven't done any cheek art butterflies, but I will now. I imagine I'd just do a couple of one stroke flower type petals and the usual outlining and detailing. I will post what I come up with tomorrow.

Just look at real butterflies for reference. A quick google search will provide ample resources. Look at the shape of the wings, try to replicate. When you're happy with your "real-looking" butterfly... mess around with it, stylize it, make it your own. Practice practice practice!

As everyone said post pictures up, maybe ur good at them & just beating ur self up! ur avatar is Really nice! Maybe if u take out the little upper wing & just make two big ones like ur avatar it can look like a front view butterfly!!?
