Day 9 - "Lean In"

 


Trying to learn from yesterday, I started on the sketch first thing this morning and the fox pup scratching his neck proved to be a good reminder that sometimes you should scrap what you're doing and start over (from "scratch" as it were).

Failing can help you improve.
Also, caffeine is a miracle worker.

She works in a greenhouse and when asked via email what insect first came to mind, she wrote: "I think of BEES because I have been working in beeswax and I love what bees do and produce. Also, my coworker and I made a "Bee Spa" for all the fuzzy bumble bees that pass out on the ground (I think the colder temps make them sluggish?)...and we also have a "Bee Necropolis" where we lovingly put all the bees that have died." I was intrigued by both ideas - the spa and the necropolis, but decided I might have a better chance at depicting the spa. I asked AS what the Bee Spa looked like: "...[it] is a selection of lovely cut flowers with pollen offerings plus potted plants in a protected area where the bumbles will not be disturbed a...
