Cool! @Virginia Poltrack
@Tobia Crivellari you are so kind - thank you :)
Anytime my lady! :-) @Virginia Poltrack
The wings are so perfect! What did you use to get the background effect?
@Oleg thank you! I drew the beetle in pencil first, then used watercolors to make the background - just spreading the colors where I thought it would look good - I should post a better picture, actually - the colors are brighter in person!
Thank you for revealing your process. Always good to know how a great piece of art came about.
Holy cow! You are really great at drawing! It is really cool getting to see what you can do! :)
@Virginia Poltrack really nice, like the use of water colours
@Andrew Terpening @Andy Hall - thank you for the kind words! :) I really appreciate it!
This is wonderful! Love the muted colors. Really like this.
Thanks @Sam Valentino :)
Amazing (and kinda creepy) detail! Well done :)
@Jason Krieger the funny thing is - I effing HATE bugs. Really. Also, I have a tattoo of a beetle. Even though I hate bugs. Lol.
