I do love the Butterfly look. The black and orange is cool. Very nice scales or flakes or whatever they're called, especially with the curves and ripples giving form to them. 2 Quote Let cheese and oxen and mead crowd out our secret desires for power and domination - Harriet the Viking Just be bold, fluid and unapologetic, not small, hairy and indecisive - Harriet the Artist You can absorb me! - Harriet the Contextless Guru Link to comment

Very nice scales or flakes or whatever they're called, especially with the curves and ripples giving form to them. I guess they are called cerata? Which is Greek for horn. They started naming the parts on nudibranches with horn-like appendages and had to keep the name when they got to ones with leaf-like appendages, I guess.

I am actually finding the learning curve on watercolors to be quite frustrating. I keep thinking of trying pastels instead, but I don't want to keep spending on new media and then quitting 😬 1 Quote Life before Death Strength before Weakness Journey before Destination Link to comment

Yeah, maybe I can see if the art supply stores sell any pastels/pastel pencils indivually so I can experiment with them as a medium before investing in a lot of colors 🤔 They would be nice for doodling on my black journal pages anyway, which watercolor cannot do.

Good idea! Pastels are fun but very messy. For the journal pastel pencils would probably be more useful. But it's all worth a try! 1 Quote Link to comment

But it's all worth a try! Yeah, I would definitely want a fixative (and probably some crystal paper) to keep my journal tidy, even with pencils.
