I have been working on this illustrative nature piece for 5 weeks and just completed the piece. It was my first piece conpleted on Grafix Duralar Drafting Film and I shared the uncompleted piece a few blogs ago. I kept procrastinating putting the color pencils down thinking that the it was too complicated for me complete.  I saw a similar illustration in a reference book and thought, “I can do something expand to the illustration and add my own insects, butterflies and other touches!  I used a few pictures from reference photos for the nature element and drew freehand what I thought might be interesting.

Pencils used: Arteza 72 Expert pencils, Faber Castell Polychromos 120 count and Prismacolor Priemers,

My thoughts is to create a few retail items with the piece.  Stay tuned for details….
