I have a strong attachment to butterflies and years ago I created a series of butterfly paintings that were used on notecards. I am sharing only the Monarch butterfly illustrations here and I’ve included my layout and close-ups.
Art director’s notes and layout.
This is a male monarch because of the black spot on the lower wings.
My photo reference. I “rented” this specimen.
Close up of my painting.
