5. the flower was attached by a brad to this cardstock before adhering to the white card blank
6. liquid pearls were added on three corners and the card and the brad were finished with kindy glitz

the beauty around us

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
