Creating the shine on the ladybug wings is quite a simple process, as we are essentially using negative space as the highlights. This means that as you color in the wings of the ladybug, we want to create a sheen and smooth effect on the surface of the wings. We do this by drawing shapes onto the ladybug’s wings, around which we will color, leaving the shape blank and white. As we add color to the wings and leave the shape blank, we are allowing the white shape to represent the highlights on the surface of the wings. This will give the impression of light reflecting off of the surface of the ladybug’s wings, resulting in a shining effect. As you create your ladybug drawing, you want to play around with adding highlights on the surface of the wings. This is because ladybug wings are quite smooth and are able to reflect light. Using the process that has been described will enable you to achieve this effect in your ladybug drawing.
