Moth May - Peppered Moth. My hand hurts from trying to stipple to capture the moth's coloring/texture. Pen again, though i did do an initial outline with pencil this time. #mothmay #pendrawing #sketchbookshare #artyear #artsky

A peppered moth for #MothMay with bonus rabbit done out of proportion and in a totally different style because why not? One of the great joys of art is there are no rules!

'Gilded Cage' ~ Carved from one piece of Sapele wood, covered in gold leaf and then gold paint (long story). This was the most challenging of all the spoons carved.. and for many reasons. I liked it better before gilding but the title got stuck in my head. #spoon #spoontaneous #art #craft #cage

Day 2 of #MothMay and we have ourselves a Peppered Moth. I remember learning about these lovelies in science, the way they evolved to be darker after the industrial revolution changed their environment...science, nature and art always a great combo! #ArtSky #Illustration #SciArt #Moths #Procreate

MothMay - Mint Moth Tried a ballpoint pen sketch for the first time ever, too. Mistakes were made, but I'm proud of it :) now to decide if I want to add color to it, or leave it as-is. Maybe I'll fill the page and then add color later? #mothmay #artsky #artyear #sketchbookpractice #pensketch

Day 2 of #MothMay, and it's the peppered moth, exemplar of natural selection. Following the industrial revolution, dark-coloured forms came to dominate as air pollution killed the pale lichens against which it used to camouflage itself.

Day 1 of #MothMay: A Mint Moth. The majority of the #moths on the list are ones I haven't seen, so I doubt I will participate much in this challenge. #teammoth #mothsmatter
