I'm Top Pick Path of Positivity challenge blog #36

I drew this butterfly from a photo for a drawing challenge (my first)
1.it was done solely in polychromos pencils
2. I kept it fairly stylised as I really cant render photo realism and the background was unashamedly coloured pencil crosshatching to create a feeling of light and shade
3. I thought this drawing appropriate for a theme of "beauty"
hope you like it
