Greetings, dear friends of art!

This is the first time I use this platform to publish one of my drawings, I am very excited about that.

I usually make sketches for tattoos, most of my drawings are with pen ink but this time I want to show you a drawing where I use colors.

It is a butterfly with 3D effect, drawn on cardboard with prismacolors, and black marker, without anything else to say, here is the process, I hope you like it:

PROCESS

I make a simple silhouette of the body of a butterfly.

Then I start coloring the first part of the wings, this technique is the same one that I use to draw hair, use a yellow color.

To give more brightness to the wings and to make them look much better, place on top orange color.

I continue with the color blue, I use it in a very soft and clear way, I try not to exert force when making the strokes.

With the same color I'm exerting more strength to achieve a darker and brighter effect. The butterflies have infinities of colors so do not use any in specific, only two colors that are beautiful and worked very well together.

And with a black marker I outline the entire outline of the butterfly.

FINAL RESULT

I finish the drawing by making a shadow with a pencil and then it is blurred. This shadow is made to get a 3D effect, looking like it is flying.
