Second sketch batch of the Lady Bugs, this time with Lady Beetle and Lady Bug!
It took me... so long to figure out Beetle's hair... so long...
Visual note time, baby!
I made around twenty sketches for Binna's hair- I wanted something that was pulled up to look "short" because Marisol and Elle already have much longer hair, but I didn't want tit to be full-on "two uber shorthaired girls and two really longhaired ones".
Her surname was taken from Albert Koebele.
Binna's hair color ALSO took forever, but I'm happy I went with the brown.
I mentioned when talking about Siby that she was based off of Sailor Mercury, but a lot of the visual choices I made were inspired by Sailor Moon for this team- like how Marisol is the most visually distinct among the girls, and everyone else has more "realistic" hair/less shocking silhouettes.
I love drawing Marisol's hair. I don't remember the inspiration anymore but the cartoony swirls bring me joy.
I intend for every girl in this team to have a splash of red in their civvy forms, but I feel like I made Binna's red the weakest. If she keeps this dress I'm color swapping the polka dots and the bg white.
Marisol's outfit was not intended to be so heavy with the red, but honestly I like it this way.
Unlike the rest of the girls who are named after entomologists, Marisol's name is based purely off of the connection between the name Mary has with ladybugs and the fact ladybugs are beetles.

I am very pleased to say that I have just completed the first draft of The Everyday Naturalist: How to Identify Animals, Plants, and Fungi Wherever You Go! It currently sits at 75,530 words, though it's going to be subject to a LOT of trimming as I go through the polishing process, and then as my editor continues to refine it. But that gives me a LOT of raw material to work with.
I started intensively working on this manuscript on the first day of the year when it was at just 14,631 words with material from the proposal and a bit of writing I did before the holidays hit. That means in the past eight weeks I have written just a hair over 60,000 words, most of it in the first month.
That's it for writing for this week. I'm going to spending Thursday-Sunday at my booth at the Portland Spring Home and Garden Show chatting up my tours, classes, and nature writing, and offering a talk on gardening with native plants on Friday morning while I'm there. Wednesday is setup, and tomorrow needs to be taking care of stuff here and packing the car so I can get up early the next morning and drive over the mountains to Portland. I'm sure by the time I get home from all that and have a little decompression time I'll be ready to dive back into the manuscript to start refining it.
For now, though, I can revel in the fact that I have written many thousands of words, and the most time-consuming part of this process is done.

There are so many kinds of ladybugs! They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes! Here are some various species I used for loose inspiration. Consider poking around next time you make a ladybird :>
Plenty more under the cut <3

There are so many! And these are only a handful! I tried to keep the shapes basic. Note how even the antennae vary between species! I sometimes didn't add visible ones if the image I was using didn't show it. And all the underbellies were just picked from other colors, not accurate. For fun.
