#Eutrichosomamirabile

I suppose you all remember my Eutrichosoma mirabile cartoon from a while ago, but I wanted to challenge myself into drawing a realistic one. UGH, this was a total PAIN to draw! I had to restart many times! All the photos online are of dead specimens with legs retracted, and I had to really study how this wasp would look alive with the legs spread out. It still doesn't look "real" enough for my liking, but as this is probably my 5th attempt at drawing it, I suppose that will do for now. I certainly don't dislike it, but I'm probably just overtired and need a well-deserved break. Also, my new pencils are GREAT! :)

This was my attempt at drawing Eutrichosoma mirabile this morning. Pretty awesome looking wasp if you ask me. Drawing every single hair was painstaking, but worth it! This is definitely a new favourite!
