Description Ahh, being back with my tablet is so refreshing. ^^ I snuck on today to draw this, and thankfully I wasn't pestered too much by the parents. This is kind of for my (last year) Math teacher, Mr. Trainor, because he's awesome. Me and my friends eat lunch in his classroom (we call ourselves his fanclub xD), and today I spied something crawling on his window and we went to investigate. Turns out there's a whole bundle of little ladybugs living on Mr. T's window, he's even named them. There's Herman, Willy (he likes to fly off the window), Sally (she doesn't like the ladybug fellows), and others that I don't remember.

So, anyways, today I decided that I was going to draw a ladybug for Mr. Trainor. So here we are! This is a study, which means I used a reference, which was a spiffy picture of a ladybug on a leaf [link] (it's on that page, you have to scroll down a ways). But just TRY and do something like this with a mouse. I dare you.

I my tablet.

Edit: The other ladybug's name is Frank.

Good lord. I thought this was a photo. Excellent job on the ladybug, though the background underneath the leaf is rather vague.

xD Thankees, but believe me, it was pretty much a one-time deal. Best thing I've ever done, and it'll probably stay that way. xDD

Heh, I know what you mean about getting bored with a piece, especially if you've already been working on it for quite some time, which is always the case for me It's like, finish up the main thing, and by that point, if a part of the surrounding is slightly hard to do, and you don't have complete dedication to the percetion of the entirety, it's hard to even bother a good attempt Not that it doesn't look good, just looks like it was taken at a different lighting effect or sharpening than the rest, which I guess is what makes it odd.

Woah, that's awesome, even after looking at the real photo it continues to impress me O_o Compared the the picture, the leaf's side sort of throws it off, and slight sharpness of shading in small areas, but, gah, I'm still amazed! It's almost like I could touch it, like the many lady bugs that plague my house in select times of the year...

Gold Star for you ^___^

Yay! *licks Gold Star and sticks on forehead* ^__^ I feel speshul.

And I know what you mean about the leafness... I kind of got confused and slightly bored by the time I did that part, so it looks a little funky.

Heh, yeah. I saw it on the new deviations page and thought it was a photo in the thumbnail. Then I'm like, "Wait a second... that's mine, isn't it?" xD I guess my brain doesn't work very well at this hour. e_e; Thanks for your comment. ^^
