Here's an ugly bug I drew in pen and ink. It was tedious, but an interesting experiment. I think I could have pushed the black more, but I didn't think it was worth the effort.
Here's another variation of the same bird. I'm not sure which one I like better - this one or the last one. I like this one because of its softness and I think it will be easier to scale to a larger size. The last one is perhaps more striking because of its hard shapes. What do you guys think?
This bird was fun because I enjoyed splattering the paint on it. It's a bit uncontrolled so it's interesting (and a bit worrying) to see where the paint decides to go.
