Some anthro bug drawings from 2024 I found the other day. I've improved with drawing stylised anatomy for sure lol. Might redraw some of these designs one day. Maybe. #art #insectart #bugart #furryart #oc #smallartist

A traditional drawing of an anthropomorphic snake fly. She is dressed in a white shirt, pink cardigan, green skirt and pink and white stripey socks. She holds a glass of wine in one hand and seems to be talking to someone. She has a pink beaded necklace, pink beaded bracelet on her left hand and some green ones on her right one. She is a black grey colour with yellow highlights around her knees and hands. She has her wings folded over her back.

Besides the drawings, are some sketches of her head showing different expressions.

A page of anthropomorphic bug drawings. Top two drawings show humanoid spiders. There is also a drawing of a small green aphid who looks annoyed, a nervous purple moth with red wings folded to look like a clock and a cockroach smoking a cigarette with a red bandana with white splotches around his neck.

A page of anthropomorphic insect drawings. There is a blue hairy fly looking concerned in the corner, a ladybird looking annoyed, a green lacewing with glasses and a red jumper, a purple beetle with a wooden bat in its hand and a yellow jacket wasp with a leather jacket holding a cigarette.

A drawing of a Japanese beetle, Popillia japonica, that I did today. :) #art #bugart #furryart #beetle #digitalart

A screenshot of a digital canvas. The canvas has a drawing of a beetle. The beetles head and pronotum, the shield like structure located behind the head of beetles, are both bright shiny metallic green and so are the legs. The beetle's elytra is brown. The beetle has two big black eyes and has grey hairs all over its body. It has brown antenna with four segments and the tip of the antenna resembles a fan. The beetle is leaning leaning over a wooden table and has it's front pair of legs crossed in front of it. A third limb can be seen grasping onto the edge of the table. The beetle is looking up and there is a small pink heart above it. Besides the drawing on the left side, there are various reference photos of the beetle species the drawing is of.

She has six legs and two antenna and two greyish blue eyes. Next to the drawing, on the right side, there is the name Mutilla europaea written with a black ball point pen and highlighted with a pastel green high lighter.
The drawing is done using a mix of paint markers, alcohol markers, water colour markers and colouring pencils. The line art is done using a black ball point pen.
