Cute sketches of bees and bumblebees 🐝
At work, we call ourselves bees in my team (because we work hard), so we put bees emojis when we can 🐝
I wondered how I could draw bees in my style, because I acknowledge I mostly draw pandas and cats, and very few insects 😅
I think it has been a long time since the last time I made a lot of sketches, and researches about how to draw something in my style. 😃 Style that I describe as "realistic but cartoony" or "cartoony with a slight touch of realism", and if it's a character, they are cheerful, round, and/or fluffy.

First sheet of sketches: just bees, hesitating but promising start
Second sheet of sketches: a few bumblebees, and the final design of my bees, alongside with some researches for the wings
What I mean by "cartoony but a little bit realistic": bees have a black head, a yellow fur around it, and then their abdomen. I wanted to transcript that into my sketches, instead of doing just one shape for their bodies as I did for the bumblebees, and a yellow head. Given that I wear myself a scarf most of the time, I liked this idea 😊
Last page: I wanted to draw a bigger version of my favorite one of the previous page 🐝
PS: Did you kow? By typing Windows + . (adapt whether you're on Windows or Linux, your keyboard layout..), you can open the emoji panel of your PC. And the bee of Kubuntu 22.04 (my laptop) is very cute! 💜🧡
