Hey there
for those who still remember me :)
Sice time killed me and i ditched the challenge, i´m not going to simply continue it but restart it instead....

So here it goes! Mikokos second attempt at the "Insect 100 Drawings" challenge!
Wish me luck and endurance i´ll try to keep you updated

Its alright, i thought so already ..... stuff like developement is always top-secret :D
The first picture are 60 second drawings from your animal drawing tool.
The third are 60 seconds as well but i added some details from imagination afterwards :)
Second and fourth are a few minutes on each insect..... i try to make them really speedy but i tend to put details on them afterwards - shame on me - >,<

I plan to do 25 pics of those before i start with the next step, although i can already feel the thought come up ..... "20 more insect drawings!? really !?" haha
But i will stick to the challenge!!!

I might need help on the linking ......

Edit: Thank you very much Kim!

Hey there
@Kim : That sounds pretty awesome, can you tell us what kind of game in general it was going to be, or is it top-secret? ;-)
Although you can always get better, i feel at least kinda confident drawing faces, so i prepare for the insect part of my bee-queen through this challenge.(100 pics of practice for just one pic at the end, quite the effort if you think about it, haha)

@Sylvester: Nice still life, you got the colors and shape down very nicely, the second one is also great thou not as atmospheric as the first one it is more accurate.

Here i am with my first update on the progress of my personal challenge.
I drew 4 pictures already as you will see and i also specified some more point in my challege ....

Concerning the characteristic features of insect families i chose three categories which will contain 10 pictures each:

Spiders
Bugs/beetles
Bees/butterflies

I also added another step:

I will draw seperate stand-alone parts of insect bodies (to grasp the anatomy more accurately)

And here are my first 4 pictures, hopefully the upload will work out fine.

Hey there

I specifically registered just now to take part in this challenge :D
Let´s all get better together! I can´t promise to update daily due to lack of time but i´ll try to update a few times a week and at least once a week.

My goal for this challenge is : "to get better at drawing insects"
My steps are as following....

I commit to drawing at least 10 drawings a week

get a grip on general insectoid anatomy and shape
capture the important characteristics of different insect families
draw realistic bees

I want to capture the feeling and look of bees and reach the goal with a refined drawing of a semi-humanoid semi-insectoid bee queen! (Therefore the insect practice)
