I can not tell you guys how much I absolutely love this drawing and lesson on "how to draw a butterfly tattoo", step by step. The way that this monarch butterfly is trapped in barbed wire tells a story of beauty being captured by the hands of evil. I wanted to do something that was different but inspiring so I went racked my brain and came up with this concept. I would be surprised if this tutorial didn't make it to the Top 50 because to me it's absolutely amazing. Have fun drawing a butterfly tattoo people, I hope you like it.
