day three-hundred-and-six - miami blue butterfly

oh man. i planned to draw the next seven animals yesterday so i could keep on top of uni stuff, and now it's 8:30 PM on saturday and i only just finished them. uh ohs. sorry uni.

i'll start with the crappest, but will not proceed tomorrow in quality order:

i think it's time to give up on butterflies. they're pretty sweet in person, but my drawings of them have always been pretty terrible.

no problems. there's shitloads of birds i can draw.

how do you like that butterflies?! and what are you going to about it, flap your tiny wings and cause a distant earthquake? pph.

day three-hundred-and-two - red-spotted purple butterfly

you may think that name is weird once you see my drawing...

there are no spots, no purple and no red. but to be fair the picture i drew from didn't have a name for this butterfly - so in all honesty it might not even be a red-spotted purple butterfly. but you can take a look and judge for yourself.

i can't talk anymore - got to learn year 11 and 12 chem in one night.

adios!

day one-hundred-and-ninety-five - monarch butterfly

or flutterby if you prefer. i certainly do

i am terrible at cursive as you can see, but not so bad at depicting flutterbys. such an appropriate anagram, i'll never get over it.

once i saw a pillar of monarch butterflies, so is their prevalence...

now you've seen it too. could you please draw me a picture now?
