Description It´s a bee! They´re rather cute, don´t you think...? As long as they´re not circling my head.

- Staedler graphite pencils 2B/3H
- Copy paper
- 11 x 8 cm (4.3 x 3 inches)
- A couple of hours

Some highlights were made using a kneaded eraser.

Practising... it was fun, well, at least the bee. The flower - not fun! Is this any good? I should´ve spent so much more time on this than I did... that´s why it´s not very rendered, but more sketchy. Do you like or hate? Now, be honest... ^^

So cute!! And of course it wouldn't look so cute if not your perfect technique. It's seems like a mystery to me how you managed to draw the tiny hair. Perfect work

It looks like a black and white photo! Holy cow that is incredible! I hope to get this good someday but I would be drawing wolves. I'm off to a great start but you seemed to have beeten me! XD okay that was cheesy, pardon my sad humor. Yes she is rather stunning and you captured that perfectly in this piece, I love watching bees work in my garden. Wasps are the terrors! >.< lol they like to chase me. Great job, keep up the great work! I'm watching you now! ^-^

This is awsome. It's unusual to see this kind of subject matter portrayed at all but especially in pencil. The fuzzies look ultra real.
