How to Draw Ladybug: Let’s Sketch the Paris’s Protector

This tutorial explains how to draw Ladybug from Miraculous Ladybug, the main heroine who protects Paris from akumatized villains. Ladybug is Marinette’s superhero identity, granted by the Ladybug Miraculous and her kwami Tikki. Her spotted suit and yo-yo weapon have made her one of the most recognizable animated heroes in recent years, and this guide captures her in a dynamic action stance.

Drawing Ladybug Full Body

This guide includes 12 steps that take you through sketching Ladybug in her hero suit, standing in a ready-for-action pose with fists raised.

Ladybug’s Design Features

• Dark hair in pigtails tied with ribbons
• Red mask with black spots around eyes
• Confident determined expression
• Red bodysuit covered in black spots
• Yo-yo weapon attached at hip
• Both fists raised in fighting stance
• Slim athletic build
• Legs spread in dynamic pose
• Flat boots matching the spotted suit

Drawing Ladybug requires placing those spots across her entire suit while keeping them varied in size. For her civilian look, check out the Marinette tutorial. The Cat Noir guide naturally pairs with this one as her crime-fighting partner, and the Monkey Miraculous tutorial offers another hero suit design to practice.
