MANTIS OFFICIAL: a praying mantis drawing
this is a mashup of wildlife and space art. this was a drawing request of my friend. took me a month to draw.
There you go!
First I drew the mantis, then the rocks then the gems- lava-mountain - sky-clouds-milkyway-jupiter-sun and last the stars
I used signo white, that's a white gel pen and a silver gelpen for the stars!
here are some WIP pics
heres the mantis first
some rocks
and heres the gems and the lava.
then i made the sky and the stars
What do you think?
Praying mantis is one of the most diverse of all insects and they come in all colors!
theres the coronatus mantis and the pink petal mantis which i think is the prettiest ever!
Enjoy!
I've always thought mantis bugs look most like aliens... the landscape and sky make him look even more extra terrestrial! I love it!
My thoughts exactly :D Thank you! :D
You are a great painter. I have no talent for painting. Thanks for sharing!
