January 4th, 2009 – Another drawing out of my animal book. It’s where I go for inspiration. This African Moon Moth is from a small photo where the moth has just hatched and it’s wings are just finished drying out.

Analysis – A color treatment would have felt better with this drawing because the best details are the colors and subtle color differences on the wings. Without using color the details were surprisingly few. I noticed some errors in the outline after I had done quite a bit of work on the drawing and didn’t want to undo it all… so this was a constant eye sore to me as I continued on.

Note – I’ve decided to start posting my drawings to my blog. For a few reasons… To share the art, to stimulate me to draw more, and to keep a record of them all.
