this piece I was kind of rushed so it is a lot smaller, but I did a butterfly and I decided to make the butterfly black to kind of make the flower stand out and pop a little more which I think worked pretty nicely. First I drew out the butterfly and although butterflies already have all that natural patterning going on I decided to use that same swirly pattern I used with a lot of my pieces just because it did really remind me of butterfly patterning and I really like it. Doing the wings were hard however because it did get hard to show the difference between the wing closest to the viewer and the wing behind the other and I think the patterning and shading got a little muddy so I would change that. My favorite part of the butterfly that I did would be the fuzzy looking body of the bug just because I feel as if I conveyed the way that the body does have that texture. I also used that texturing with the yellow pollen parts of the flower which I really like, but I would change the flower because I did try to show the dimension of the blue flower by shading with the black pen but it still looks flat to me. Also I actually did this piece on the wrong side of paper so the texture of the paper was a little weird which bothers me as well.
