[wip] Butterflies Day
🕑 Added 2020-03-14 06:52:43 +0000 UTCI 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
🦋Emerald Swallowtail, Queen Alexandra's birdwing, Monarch butterfly, Heliconius butterfly
✨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
