A bee for Mamishka

I was originally gonna post this as a comment in mamishka’s journal, but it came out so nice I just had to show it off:



The linework is yet another Japanese brushpen, one with a tip made of separate nylon strands. It’s like a Niji water brush, but it comes pre-filled with ink. The color is Photoshop, but some new tricks: using the more exotic brushes, at 100% or 50% opacity, and then blending.

Yeah. The first couple of sketches had the full compliment of limbs, but they looked too crowded.
