Sketching Daily: Day 5 "Bug Me!"

Bugs come in all shapes sizes and colors. Everything from a pesky flea to the atlas moth. While they may drive us crazy there is something beautiful about them. In today's sketching daily challenge, we take a closer look at bugs by making our own bug collection. Just google bug collection and a world of colorful possibilities opens up to us. Pick a few that you like and draw a contour drawing (outline) of the but you have choosen. Then go to town. Thicken the line work, add some color, layer puff paint on top of colored pencils, the choices are endless. Once you are done, number each bug and give them their very own name. You could spend hours finding a new appreciation for our fascinating little friends.

Here is a look at my collection.

 

The most important thing is to have fun with it! There are no rules and the possibilities are endless. Tune in tomorrow for more exciting drawings!
