What makes a drawing scientific? The drawing focuses on being realistic and closely matching the details and colors of the specimen.

Look at a live insect or a photograph of the insect. Use a magnifier to LOOK at every detail. Using a pencil, draw the side view or top view of the insect.

Look—draw—look—draw.

Draw only what you see. The accurate size is important. This is a scientific drawing. Don’t add a smile to its face. Use colored pencils to fill in the realistic colors.
