Description Just a quick study I guess (well, maybe not so quick...took me like an hour and a half), trying to get the colors right and stuff. All in one layer, hell yeah! Er... anyway, here's the reference I used--this guy's such a cool photographer-- [link]

Omg, that is something very glorious and detailed. *_* When you look at this, should I say painting, and the photograph you really can't say which one is the real beetle.

I wish someday I could do something like this. :3

Aw, thanks! That makes me happy It's all about practicing to draw what you see, really, and you'll get there. The hard part would be thinking up something like that by yourself--that would be crazy

1 hour? One layer?

I can't believe it. D:!

After this point I would have added some lower opacity strokes of white for more contrast (from the looks of the reference).

Boohaha...okay, maybe it was closer to two hours. XD Yah, there's something about the abdomen i still don't like; i went over the edges with a little bit of color saturation, and i think i could have left it alone and it woul've looked betta. Live and learn Thank you!

Bah, its not that good. You just have to faithfully copy what you're looking at; i'm sure you can do it too Trying to do something like that from imagination, now, that would be something!

What a perfect subject for you since you love to use a lot of color! This is fantastic. It looks like you might have missed his right leg, though. Although you did say it was a quick study.

Hehe, yeah, it was sort of up my alley. I really need to try some new things in that regard Yeah, I was getting tired of the picture by that time; i did the legs last, so I just decided that maybe his body was hiding it or something...
