Description
A male katipo. Males, as you can see, resemble juveniles except for their enormous boxing glove pedipalps you can see by his head. Most spiders show quite obvious sexual dimorphism, the males being smaller than the females and possessing swollen pedipalps (they are swollen with man juice). Male spiders are the cutest animals ever.

Prismacolors on Archers smooth watercolour paper. The abdomen is th size of my thumbnail. Full view for detail. Your critique is most welcome, as I am trying to improve my illustration skills.
