Step 1: Dragonflies are known for their long, skinny bodies and broad, strong wings. Begin your dragonfly by drawing a circle for the head.
Step 2: Draw the dragonfly's thorax as a circular loop on the back of the head. Make the loop a little bit smaller than the head.
Step 3: Draw the dragonfly's long abdomen, which looks like a tail, as an elongated ellipse attached to the back of the thorax.
Step 4: Draw the right wing as a large, broad ellipse pointing up from the thorax and a smaller, slightly narrower ellipse pointing backward at an upward angle.
Step 5: Draw the right wings as two elliptical curves angled forward.
Step 6: Draw the five legs of the dragonfly that can been seen at this angle as bent lines attached to the thorax you drew in step 2.
Step 7: Draw the dragonfly's big eyes as shaded circles. Make sure you leave white dots in the top right of the eyes to show reflection. Add an upward-curving line for the mouth.
