Here’s a bee I drew tonight. My favorite part about creating this drawing was forming the long legs complete with “pollen baskets.” The pollen coating looks a lot like fat socks. I think they makes the bee look very cute. I also like the way the wings turned out. They look very delicate. Again, I put this drawing on a background so the black details show.

I’m thinking of using this in the header art for Lovely items. I put the flower on a colored background because the drop shadow cannot be seen against the background of this blog.
It’s also nice against a green background.
I think I will make a wallpaper with this too ;p.
Here’s the next revision of my ladybug. I really like this one.

I, also, did some changes to the drawing to make it a little closer to a lady bug. So here it is:
