I used these sketches to get ready for my “Ants” illustration. Some of them were quick pose explorations. The small pose studies took 1-2 minutes. The larger studies took 5-10 minutes. I also did a few 10-15-minute marker and ink studies of ants. “Ants” was my first detailed illustration of ants (or any other insect). These studies made the final illustration much better.
