Orchid mantis WIP

[ sketch ] Moth and blueberry frog

[wip] Butterflies Day

[idea sketch / drawing] Leaf-mimic baby

Color palette

I thought of the autumn feeling in early October.

There are fallen leaves, but there are still many green leaves.

There are many animals imitating dead leaves rather than living ones in this painting, and the bright yellow-green background will make them more alive and lively.

If I had completed the same sketch in November, I think I would have painted it with more gray and purple on a dark background...😁

But the weather here right now is.... I put the fan in the warehouse a week ago, but I still wear sandals when I go out. It has a bit of a summer green feel.

I looked up their actual sizes and wrote in blue numbers. 

They are usually about 4-10 cm in size. 10 cm = 4 inches

Many of them, like real leaves, usually small enough for you to hold with one hand…

Thank you!
