Butterflies & Moths |
Each of these started with one half of one full-sized pressing (i.e. both wings and the full body were pressed at the same time) - except for Ignus, which you can see are both halves of one press. I then used permanent marker to define the wings; breathwork next to define delicate wing-veins, bulk the bodies and detail the wings in general; drawing & shading with color pencil, sometimes in conjunction with oil pastel, usually is the last step.
