Draw a honeybee with this easy to follow step-by-step tutorial.
How to Draw a Honeybee #1
Start with a large circle at the bottom left of your drawing area. This circle will be your bee's body. At about three quarters of the way through the body and a little higher draw another circle for your bee's head. How to Draw a Honeybee #2
In the circle you drew for your bee's head draw a curved line for the bottom of your bee's eyes. Draw the line a little above center and slightly to the right. The line should start from the left going straight and curve downward. On the line you just made draw the top three quarters of ovals for the eyes. Above the eyes draw your bee's antennas. Make sure the antenna on the left starts on the face and the one on the left starts at the top of your bee's head. Near the bottom of your bee's head draw a curved line for his smile.

The wings for your bee are drawn like a letter "D" with rounded edges. Draw the one on the front at about one quarter of the way down from the top of your bee's body. The back wing is drawn in the same way only closer to the head. How to Draw a Honeybee #4

My Favorite Cartooning Book
This is my personal favorite cartooning book. If I were only able to have one cartooning book this would be it.
Cartoon Cool: How to Draw New Retro-Style Characters
Amazon Price: $5.75 (as of 06/01/2012)
This book makes a very nice into into the world of cartoons. More and more, cartoons are reverting back to the old style of retro cartooning that we used to see. If you want to learn how Samurai Jack came to look like he does, or ever wondered about the technique behind Dexter's Laboratory, then this book is for you.
