Step 1: Start by drawing a circle as a guide for the front part of the bumblebee's body also called the thorax. To draw the circle, first make four marks to determine its height and width. Then connect the marks using curved lines. If you're struggling to draw the circle, just trace the outer rim of a circular object like a cup or a lid.
