Flo:Ah yes, I intend to focus more on this actually, as three-dimensional form is something that has been suggested to me on a number of occasions. Thank you for the link, but that only seemed to define what drawing through the forms is. Do you have any good tutorials or books that focus on it? I've been linked to some before (which I intend to look at again), but are there any that explain it in a particularly simple fashion? Anyway, thank you very much for your feedback, it is appreciated.
Rainbowsorknives: Thank you. I am focusing a lot on drawing from observation, as you would deduce. A lot of my insect drawings I've studied from resin paperweights with specimens encased in them as well as papered specimens. I do intend to try and broaden my horizon in terms of the subjects I study, at some point I'm planning to focus on anatomy of other animals, including humans. I believe this would help me with my illustrations from imagination.
Once again, to save this from being a wall of text, here's a quick study I did, experimenting with amalgamating stippling and graphite. I think I overkilled it a bit, so if I use this method in future I'll make sure to use lighter tones. Reference used here.
