Butterflies have long been the subject of artistic creation, cultural expression and ecological research due to their unique beauty and symbolism. This thesis takes 10 butterfly works as research objects, combining the perspectives of art analysis, special effect makeup and butterfly morphology to explore the design concepts, expression methods and the symbolism they express. The 10 butterfly forms were re-drawn using butterfly innovations, special means of expression and color painting techniques in the special effects makeup. The makeup shows that these butterfly works not only show the diversity and innovation of artistic creation, but also give people a better understanding of butterfly forms. This study provides new ideas for artistic makeup butterfly-related themes, as well as new ideas for future art and fashion.
