Big world, small things. A fly.

Mark, that’s a really great drawing.

I like the way you've caught the translucency of the light coming through the legs and the slight blurring of the leg tip adding to the realism. Also the textures and colours, particularly on the abdomen are very natural. Well observed.

Just out of interest I tried to identify the species of spider, but it’s a tricky business because the colours, pattens and size can vary even within the same species. My best guess is it’s a type of orbweaver.

Just for fun (and I really hope you don’t mind) but your spider looked so much like a scientific drawing I made a copy and annotated it in PGD11.

Looking forward to seeing more of your works in the future and thanks for the inspiration.
