Mr.M Art Contest #8 - There is a rainbow in my beetle!
Hey, guys! What’s up? :D
This is my entry for the mrm-artcontest by @meloo0182.
At first, I wanted to make a Mantis or a Butterfly, but I noticed that others had already made one so I explored other options. Among many insects, this was the one that caught my attention because of its colors. I honestly didn't know that beetles could be colored because what I always saw were dark brown /black ones.
Here are some pictures of the process
This wasn't the result I wanted to achieve, but it's pretty close so I'm glad that everything went well and I didn't end up ruining the drawing, haha. I was looking for a metallic look like this:
Sometimes, I'm afraid to work with colors because once you put the color you can't remove it, but I found on this page a great inspiration seeing the work of other artists and that helps me to improve.
Well, that’s all for tonight. It has been a hard week so I'm going to rest now. Hope you liked it. Bye, guys! <3
This is magnificent @art- huntress, I can see the beautiful metallic colors in your drawing. Can I ask friend, did you use colored pencils? Incredibly good dear❣️
Thank you, Grandma! Yes, I used colored pencils to make this drawing. They're a box of 24 colors that I bought a few months ago with the money that I've been saving here thanks to the support of the Steemit community. So I hope some day to be able to buy professional drawing tools, but for now, I have other priorities.
UPVOTE! https://steemit.com/news/@bible.com/6h36cq
