Sleeping bee spends the night on a flower under the glow of flickering fireflies. 52-Week Drawing Challenge
Cute bee spends the night sleeping on a flower under the glow of flickering fireflies.

Week three of my 52-week drawing challenge finds a sleeping bee nestled in a flower as lightning bugs float lazily by. Fun fact: bees sometimes stay out too long to fly home safely, so they sleep on flowers overnight. I’m sure it looks exactly like this when they do!

Below you can check out some progress photos. The first is a shot of the image in Photoshop. The second is of the finished inked drawing, which I do traditionally by hand.
