I figured I'd try to do an in progress step by step thing. This will hopefully motivate me to get some work done on this in time to post before Illustration Friday puts up a new topic. The topic this week is Extremes. My boys were extremely excited to find this extremely interesting bug in our back yard. It's a "leafy bug" and is their favorite bug now thanks to its extremely clever camouflage. So here's the sketch and hopefully tomorrow we will have the next step.

"Leafy Bug" Value Study
I don't always do this step but for this one I did. I like to determine the values and see if my composition is working. I think it's headed in the right direction so tomorrow I will paint over with color- Hopefully we'll have a finished piece tomorrow.

I like the composition. WHere can I find the value study? You didn't post it.
Sorry about that- Should be there now.
Fun to see the progression of this! Beautiful work.
I always like seeing progress shots of a piece. Looks like you're well on your way! Nice.
Always enjoy the inside scoop as well...still waiting for the continuation!!! Continue to enjoy the work (IF:Open is sharp!)
