A lot of furry and feathery friends have come out on paper lately as well as a few little creepy-crawly creatures.
I rarely use color, not that I don’t like it but I find it hard to master. However, when forms like these emerge on the drawing board, I sometimes venture a little bit farther than my usual black and white.
My creepy-crawly friends are nothing like these beautiful renditions of Claire Felloni or these rich boards of insects but I think we all are fascinated by their incredible variety of forms and the richness of their details. When you look closer, you discover little jewels: colourful, sometimes shiny, others velvety, wearing lace fineries, fur coats or armours.
This board from Ioannes Ionstonus shows the wide variety in the wold of bees
I would love to get my hands one one of these…
