Bound Butterfly Sketch

Possibility for a future painting? But for now, he's a combination of micron and gel pens. I like those. Lots of colors, travel easy. I have a pack I keep in my bag that I can take out in diners, coffee shops, bars...been exploring a variety of textures I can get from combining different pen types as well. And I haven't even gotten into posting some of my drawings for Inktober yet!

My inspiration for this was walking over to a friend's place one day and seeing a Viceroy butterfly just chilling by the curb.

I dunno, it seems a bit late in the season for a butterfly like this. But these days "late in the season" just keeps getting later and later doesn't it? Thank you climate change!
