Butterfly pencil drawings

While I'm thinking about a new butterfly composition for an etching I want to make, I thought I'd draw a few butterflies in pencil. No color! - which gives them a different look. I'm planning for some color in my etching but it wouldn't be as bright as a painting could be. It's more difficult to get bright colors when etching.

You can follow along here as soon as a design comes to mind! I'd love to add some words with screen print but it's a challenge in my small studio. But it can be done. We'll see!
