Sketch into Spring #7 Go buggy

I did it! Phew!  I'll be honest here, I nearly skipped this one.  I'm really glad I didn't but I do wish I wouldn't keep making things hard for myself!  I tried drawing from memory ~ very bad idea!  I tried drawing from images in a book ~ another bad idea; waay too many shady bits and sketchy lines = frustration.  In the end I made the sensible decision to google, easy to draw insects.  Et voila!  Simple enough for me and I enjoyed myself............WooHooo! ((high fives self)) :D

First I sketched my bugs in pencil, went over them with a fineliner then erased the pencil.  I coloured in with my watercolour pencils and aqua brush and then did the background with a pastel pencil.  I went over the bee and dragonfly wings with my clear Wink of Stella brush. Love!  And finally I sprayed over it all lightly with a cheap hairspray so that I don't smudge the pastel by accident.

The next prompt is thumb print birds ~ here are some very cute examples :D  Now surely even I can do that?  Oh dear, I do hope I haven't just jinxed myself *yikes!*  lol ;)

I've a long way to go with this class yet, and the new one Online Card Class starts today; oh my. Wish me luck with keeping up won't you?

What are you working on just now? Do tell.......;)

But, until next time..........
............stay well, and thanks for popping by to say 'Hi' *hugs*
