Insects are incredibly complicated, so I’d say this is an excellent start! I like the ladybug 🙂
Thanks, I’ve got a few more interesting reference photos of insects, but I’m doing birds next. This time I’m replacing colors 🙂
Feel free to draw my budgies 😀
🙂 Might do that
Finished your prize btw, I’m just waiting to send it until I’ve finished the other one too.
