It's beetle time bby

Quick bug studies from this year.

🦋 bugs 🐛 🐛 🐛 I had much more fun with this prompt than yesterday’s (but I did learn how to go by making metallic wood). At first I planning to do one big butterfly in white only but then I reprimanded myself for having various gel pen at my disposal and forget how colorful butterflies are. Almost did they’re underneath pattern, swipe —> to see the preserved specimens I used as references 🐛 🐛 🐛 ignore these: #peachtober20 #inktober #bugs #butterflies #bugillustration #butterflyillustration #natureillustration #blacksketchbook #gellyrollpen #gelpenillustration #drawtober #drawingchallenge #inktober2020 #day7 #krylonmarker #krylongoldleaf #peachtober2020 #peachtober2020bugs #butterfliesofinstagram #taxidermyart #bugart #bugdrawing #butterflydrawing (at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGD4ITnFfjR/?igshid=10s4xiz1ztnas

Doing a little moth posting ✨💖

🐞 a better look at the Bug Collector print 😊 do you have a favorite? I think mine is the little yellow one or the Hercules beetle

The first of the mini originals is done! This 5 spotted ladybird is 3"x3" and will need a home soon :) I’ll keep you updated on the status of the other mini canvas originals (hopefully will start a moth one today👀) when they are ready I’ll post the details and have them up on Etsy ☺️

I might thicken the lines a bit more and see if I can get some more clean prints, but I love how this came out 🥰
