Happy World Bee Day | Illustration

Today is World Bee Day!



I'm seeing some bees buzzing around many flowers on the hottest day of the month! They're working hard to collect the pollens, so they make sweet and delicious honey and thriving all the plants!



I read that my local town left so many weeds and wildflowers on the path and around the public field so that bees and other pollinating insects can do their important job!


For today celebration, I thought I'll illustrate a bee. I found some photos I took of a bee from 3 years ago.


I've picked one that shows the way of a bee pollinating as well as looking cute. Although the original was an upside-down, so I decided to rotate to that way.


Watercolour paint is a better option that I can paint some details that's so fine and gives a nice texture.


I very much enjoyed to watercolour paint this bee and also enjoyed taking some photographs with dried flower props!


Which one is your favourite? I thought the one with pale pink flowers and the shadow looks nice!



Hope you're having a nice day with the hottest weather. 
Thanks for reading!

The Monarch | Illustration

The Milkweed butterfly, also in another name of the Monarch butterfly, inspired me when I watched BBC's Spy in the Wild Series 2 in February. In episode 2 "The North", in this scene located the mountain in West Mexico, with the Spy Hummingbird capturing the place that's considered the world's most beautiful natural gathering, where the Monarch butterflies hibernated during the winter. It was Spring, the Spy hummingbird flying around millions of butterflies resting on the oyamel fir trees (I just looked it up of what kind of tree because I can't remember what it was, hehe). When the sunshine on them, warmed their delicate wings, then started to fly. And when they fly, it was absolutely spectacular, all orange and flow through the trees. I imagined myself in there, underneath them and watching them as they migrate to North. I felt calm and delight thinking about it, it was awe-inspiring. Being called the Milkweed butterfly is because they feed on

Bloom Wildly | Illustration

It's nearly the end of May, the weather for the last week of the month has been sun shining and over 22c of temperature, such lovely weather. So yesterday, I have been painting the dog rose flowers, that just blossomed nearly 2 weeks ago! Right now they're blooming quite wildly in my home garden and the front! This bush even grows over the tree, makes it so enchanting it's like in a magical summer garden. And with the wall, this can hang further that I can go underneath it for some shade. This one is new from the front as it hasn't grown there before, so it's the first time seeing this. And it's already climbing up the birch tree! It looks nice to look at through the window, where I work on some arts, plus good for some inspirations to illustrate! Whilst I was painting, I did another timelapse video on this. Seems I find the time-lapse illustrating very fascinating and satisfying, you can see the process in fast speed, rather than the normal speed that'll t
