Februdoodle 2023 #19: Painted Lady

My nineteenth illustration for Februdoodle is a Painted Lady butterfly.

We took a short road trip to a local nature conservancy today. It is home to a large wetland area where a lot of birds spend their time - primarily ducks, but also cranes and sandpipers.

There were a few butterflies as well, but unfortunately most of them were dead. We saw one live one hanging out on an observation deck, and then watched it fly down into the water, where it got stuck and couldn't get out. It felt bad just watching it struggle.

As usual, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, and the Syrup brush for linework and coloring.

If you'd like to see how I drew this one, you can watch the time-lapse below:
