[wip] Butterflies Day

* Butterfly and Larva study 🦋


I tried to draw butterflies after the moth and beetles I drew last year, and now I do.

Butterflies are often folded their wings rather than spreadwings like moths.

So I thought about animating from the side form, but I couldn't find a sketch that I liked

So I will not do animation this time, but I tried to draw a flying figure instead.


I watched more YouTube videos than photo resource.

I want the animals in my picture to be as alive as possible.

So I added a lot of angles to see Ventral View or Underwing.


It is fun to know many butterflies to mimic flowers or have wings like dead leaves.


WIP


I modified the butterfly's layout at the end. 

Tried to limited parallel lines as possible.

That would make them look more dynamic.



Butterfly Species


✨Holly blue, Giant swallowtail, Orange oakleaf, Ulysses butterfly, Green Hairstreak

✨Euryades corethrus, Western Pygmy Blue, Common brimstone, Menelaus blue morpho, Adonis blue, Chinese peacock butterfly



March 14 is White Day, but it's also Moth-thday and learn about Butterflyes Day.

Recently, I learned something from drawing insects.

Insects are eight times faster in extinction than mammals.

* 'Worldwide document of the enomofana: A review of it's drivers.' 


There are other reasons such as pesticides, but most is about climate change.

I'm thinking about what more effort I can make. 


I looked out of the window today and I saw some Forsythia blooming. 

I am looking forward to seeing butterflies soon. 

Thank you!

I'm trying to plant as much insect flowers and plants as I can. In France, I've seen the insect population drastically reduce in the past 20 years. This is really sad U_U
