So, I love bugs...all sorts of bugs. I draw and paint lots of pretty flowers, but bugs are one of my favorite subjects to render. Especially with high quality colored pencils. I can sit for hours and hours obsessing on all the tiny detail. This here is a drawing I've done of a rhino beetle in all it's glory. Aren't they amazing and beautiful?
Did you know...Rhino Beetles are the strongest creatures on Earth? The rhinoceros beetle can carry 850 times its own weight.
That's proportionally more than an African Elephant can carry! That's the definition of a badass if there ever was one. Badass beetle!

Les, you are a profoundly talented illustrator! Truly impressive work!

That is such a beautiful drawing! It's more than a technical drawing, it is magical.
