Rove Beetle This guy was in my house, bathing, so I took its portrait through a loupe I held in front of my camera and used that as reference for this drawing. I'm trying out a monochrome palette since so many insects, like this rove beetle, come in interesting shapes but also such dull drab colors. This was done with India and colored drawing inks and can be viewed in my shop here . [January 2, 2016]
I make mini lino block prints, watercolors, and ink drawings mostly featuring cats, insects, reptiles, and amphibians...tiny art and life!
