Description
I designed this butterfly by giving Celtic knotwork a playful treatment. Its colour was inspired by the adonis blue, one of my favourite kinds of butterflies.ACEO (3.5 by 2.5 inches, or ca 8.9 by 6.4 cm), black ink, Faber Castell Polychromos pencils, and white ink on 160g/mΒ² bristol paper.
I have no idea where this belongs properly in DA sections... It's an animal, but neither anthropomorphic, nor an original character, nor natural.
If you're interested in an ACEO print, message me.

Wow, I love this! Very well done. I once tried to draw a celtic knot an it really is difficult, so I think you did a really, really good job

Thanks a lot.
It just takes a bunch of pages of more or less bad sketches... it gets a bit better with each redrawing, so after ten or so, the result is OK.

Thanks a lot!
I'm sorry I didn't answer earlier/fav the articles when it did any good, but I was on a break from DA when it happened.

wonderful design. The butterfly is indeed pretty.
There are some things that are really hard to categorize by DA's standards. Something like this could probably fit under abstract, and maybe even Illustration
