Fantasy insects

This is the first shot of a series of fantasy insects drawings. This ongoing personal project is about blending the various shapes of insects found in nature with my imagination. I use mirroring in Procreate as a tool to bring an unusual element to the way I’d typically draw to incentivise my creativity. Sometimes the result is more on the realistic side, other times the surreal takes over.
Insects fascinate me, both with their rather bizarre and otherworldly aesthetics and how important they are to the environment.
I hope you enjoy them too!
