Description
Yay, another butterfly!
I have so many pictures I took from the conservatory, and I had to draw another one. 
This one was tricky, since I changed quite a few things from the original reference. The ref has a large chunk of the right wing missing and I added more leaves and took some away.
Okay, I promise I'll take a break from the realism for a while.
This is a tiny drawing---it's about 4"x4" I believe. I love drawing small when I have little leftover scraps.
Medium: Colored pencil.

GAH THIS LOOKS SO AWESOME <3333 Great work on thissss. I adoreeee the colouring work on this :3. The colours are so vivid and bright, and the blues of the butterfly contrast so perfectly. Great work on all of the shading as well, the tones are so smooth and well blended n_n. Awesome work on all of those leaves as well. I personally DESPISE colouring leaves and stuff like grass >_> so I am HELLA jealous >8( XDDDD AWESOME PIECE!!!

I spent more time on the background than I did on the subject, which is rare for me.
