I hate moths. Actually I am scared of them. They remind me of death and they seem to constantly want to bump into my face with their dusty wings. Evil little creatures.Although while I was looking up pictures of them as references I did feel a little sick to start, but then I started to see pretty patterns in the wings. So maybe in the end this was kind of therapeutic for me. Dusty pink background added as well to make it look prettier.
Lead pencil and watercolour elements done while watching Man vs Wild, then put together in good ol' Photoshop this morning.
Very nice! Love the dusty wings and the legs are great! I'm so glad you're feeling a bit better about your moth aversion too. :)
ReplyDeleteGood job!
ReplyDeleteI really like your illustration!
Lovely illustration - the colours work so well!
ReplyDeleteI felt the same about moths 'til I drew one a few months ago. They're kind of fuzzy with nice patterns. Though, I still don't like the way they fly randomly into my face... :)
Wow! I feel that way about mice, no matter how cute their drawn! I love the texture and design quality of your illustration!
ReplyDeleteMoths do feel dusty. Nice illo.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous illustration, I like moths and think you have done them proud here, they too can be beautiful even though they are not as colourful and flashy as the good old butterfly.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work, love your color choices.
ReplyDeletehmm, and watching man vs wild, eh? I am sure he would eat a moth if need be. NIce illo.
ReplyDeletethis is so beautiful, really well done
ReplyDeleteThere are very pretty moths, just like pretty butterflies. Good job fighting your fears :) Good job on the illo too!

ReplyDeleteThis is exquisite. I like the way that you approached your moth with an open mind and were able to appreciate the delicate patterns.
