@emgc This is so good! Butterflies are crazy hard for me to draw, or paint for that matter. 😀 As for shading.. a good exercise for that is something called a “still life” which just means drawing some inanimate objects. Like, an apple, or a cup, or something random. Using black and white will help you not to get distracted with color, and help you focus on values. Try to teach yourself to spot the basic shapes within an object, like ovals, circles, cylinders, and boxes. When you learn to shade these basic shapes, and you learn to spot the basic shapes within more complex shapes, it will be easier to shade the complex. 🙂 (This is at the very least true for me, I’m not an expert though!) I hope I wasn’t too confusing. I have a tendency to do that. 😉
@dekreel That is so amazing. :’D I love it. Can’t wait to see your redraw!!
