Butterfly Cry

Inspired by Kerli's song, of the same name.
This was quite fun to do. Done with Pencil crayons, Prismacolour Scholar. Although i suddenly remember why I don't like butterflies anymore. haven't drawn them since what, third grade? XD It's kinda sad. I used more references for the bugs than the person
From the white one, in clockwise: Small White, Karner Blue, Monarch (My favourite ), Menelaus Blue Morpho, Large Blue, and Luna Moth (Yes, I cheated a bit). I like how the Morpho compliments the blue in this piece, BUT DARN WAS THE IRIDESCENCE HARD TO DRAW

Did I hurt you? Did I ever made you bleed inside?
Did I kill you? I didn't mean to make you hide yourself,
Find you in you, beautiful.
Do not grow the seeds of pain in you,
Goodbye!

Let the butterflies cry,
Let them cry for you.
You just dry your eyes,
Because the world is wonderful.


I have been there,
I used to belive there was no light.
But I found out,
Oh, life is far too short to fight.
Loose yourself, let go of your pain,
Taste the air you breathe and kiss the sky.
Goodbye!
