They're not that expensive, but are still useful enough to let you know if it's something that might interest you.

And steady enough to make it worthwhile. It does really require a lot of work before you even sit down to draw anything. Half the challenge is just getting your name out there and building your network. I'd say you have some good Seabrookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09400079400485962650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886700853255525969.post-50834081482567749872010-02-12T19:23:37.712-06:002010-02-12T19:23:37.712-06:00Beautiful, beautiful bugs!

I do great stick figures, and can doodle, but when it comes to rendering realistic stuff, let's just say that I'm great at copying but lousy at originals. Even with a botanical illustration course under my belt, I find myself inept. Your work is great! It's easy to see why folks would ask you to illustrate for their Ellen Rathbonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684750034177425795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886700853255525969.post-91136225707593922472010-02-09T05:47:33.036-06:002010-02-09T05:47:33.036-06:00Extreme realism takes time, but is a must for thes...Extreme realism takes time, but is a must for these kind of drawings (for identification.)
