I have a butterfly bush next to the window of my tea room, and spend a lot of hours sipping tea and sketching butterflies and moths. This butterfly had such a graceful stance, and even though it isn't one of my better drawings, I was especially pleased with it's ballet leg positions, and proboscus. I thought it interesting that the eyes were patterned...is that normal??!

This is nice! How long did it take you to sketch this?
This butterfly sat nicely for about 10 minutes, so I got the basics during that time, then, as it fluttered about, I put in the details...so about 20 minutes. Nature is never one to cooperate!
