_{**Hello, hello! 🥳**} I chose Queen Nectar for this week's challenge. 🐝 ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jijisaurart/23xKmxnAfnEN1opJptz4pGzmFu2BGxDkcqeGc3yKNViMwXedUmhFmtPKdVyshhKpp8xem.png) [Source](https://www.splintercards.com/reward-nectar-queen) ## Art Process

On a blank canvas, I drew an oblong shape for the body and then a circle for the head. I again drew four oblong shapes and fixed them to look like wings. It kind of looks like a cockroach, for now, 😆 but it will have more details later on the lineart. For lineart, I used a solid pencil brush. Bees have fuzzy hair so I drew a lot of curve lines rather than straight. I put more details on the wings with divisions on it.

  I colored the wings with the lightest blue. Originally, I want to make a solid color, but it looks better when it is translucent. The body of the bee at the back of the wings is still visible. I chose a yellow color close to the color of mustard. For the face and legs, I chose a black color with a green undertone.

  On top of the yellow base, I clipped another layer for the black stripes. On the wings, I airbrushed a dark purple, just on the inner part. I outlined the body with orange and the wings with purple and set it to 20 percent opacity. # Final Art ![nectar-queen1.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jijisaurart/AKYRXYY9kv49dogoUi1Tbu94Gt4N2ZiYevN838VUWWC6jkk2SwTXLgmYTaj5k6d.png) Another layer on top of the body for the shadowing. I chose green color and set it to 20 percent opacity. I added blue and green on the legs and the body. The sunflowers are downloaded brush, just for extra element. 🌻🐝 Lastly, layered a noise monochrome for texture. ~tadaaa finished art!! 🥰 Thanks for reading~ 💖 Software: Clip Studio Paint Pro Reference/Inspo [here](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/dc/5d/6b/dc5d6b956633c3d8401340836724109d.jpg) That is it for this art blog.
