I will give you a detailed analysis of the Illustrator software to share with you the tutorial on creating beautiful vector butterflies.

Let's take a look at the final effect:
This document uses the Chinese version of Illustrator CS2 as an example. Operations in other versions of Illustrator may be slightly different. The procedure is as follows.
1. Use the pen tool in the toolbox to draw the butterfly body, fill it with an appropriate pattern, and set the stroke color to none, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1
2. Use the pencil tool to draw the wings of a butterfly, fill it with a fade color from pale green to pale blue, and set the stroke color to none, as shown in figure 2.
Figure 2
3. Now we have to use the "transparency" panel to change the opacity of wings to get a translucent effect. Select the upper two wings and change the opacity of the "transparency" panel to 73%. The effect is shown in figure 3.

4. Select the lower two smaller wings, and change the opacity to 43%. The effect is shown in figure 4.

5. select the pencil tool in the toolbox, select an image stroke style Image style from the graphic style panel, and draw the lines shown in figure 5 on the wings, set the stroke to 5pt.

6. select the lines drawn in the previous step, copy and paste them, and then select the menu command "object | transform | symmetric". When the "image" dialog box appears, select "vertical ", click the "OK" button to change the direction to symmetric with the original line, as shown in figure 6. In this way, the two sides have the same line.

7. Draw two small brown circles as the eyes of the butterfly, and then draw two pale brown tentacles, as shown in Figure 7. When painting the tentacles, we still use the method of drawing one first and then copying the other in symmetry. In this way, a beautiful butterfly is finished, as shown in Figure 7. If you want to enhance the effect, you can select the entire butterfly and select the menu command "effect | style | projection" to add the projection effect.

All right, the above information is the detailed design of the beautiful vector butterfly painting tutorial for the users of this software of Illustrator, users now see the small editor here. I believe that everyone is very clear about the drawing method. Then, you can draw a vector butterfly by yourself according to the small editor's tutorial.
