Drawings are at once the heartbeat, the bones, the musculature, and the spirit of all art. Drawings constitute a unique language for each artist, and the viewer is privileged to glimpse the skeletal elements of the art process first-hand. Drawings are personal: they reveal , they are intended as notes, they are a means to an end, and they represent the embryo of genius...the moment of an artist's truth.

Insect
Magicicada septendecim, also known as the "Seventeen Year Cicada", is a true testament to the order, sequence and pure patience of mother nature. Every seventeen years, these creatures emerge from their encasements -- only to experience but a few days with their newly grown wings. Although most of them use this brief time to make love, some choose to wage war.

I know the cicada well, and the 'music' they make. Your illustration shows me a different side to their personalities, funny and cute, and educational.
A fantastic illustration, and an interesting lesson on the nature of the insect. Well done.

I was hoping you would've named them or drew rocket launchers on their mandibles. Just kidding of course. Excellent work as usual. Love the line work and the digital touch.
amazing work, with a nice touch of colour, without loosing the pencil
