Sunday Sketches - Butterfly



This is a Monarch Butterfly, an endangered species. I drew the image from a WWF (World Wildlife Fund) photo. You have to marvel at the wonder of nature when you sketch these creatures. The intricate pattern on the wings was so inspiring.

Please visit the other Sunday Sketches contributors to see what they did today.
