April is earth month and I am participating in the Living with the Land drawing challenge. Here is Week 1 which incorporate mountains, an insect (bees), pop of sunny yellow, and air as the element of nature.
For this illustration I wanted it to align with the work I have been doing on infographics – using a sketchy hand-drawn style, trying some new brushes, working with layering elements, and telling a story.
I thought of how I could include the above elements with an earth month message. I chose the Western Bumble Bee as the focus as they are experiencing significant decline due to habitat loss, pesticides, and disease.
