This is the companion film to "Illustrating a Cuckoo Flower ( with Orange-tip butterflies)" which is also on this youtube channel
Link: • Video
In it, Lizzie explains how she goes about illustrating a butterfly and talks at length about her techniques, the biology and life cycle of the Orang-tip butterfly, and her approach to illustration.
It's filmed and narrated in real time, and hopefully will provide a relaxing and interesting way to spend the best part of an hour.
Equipment list and links to things mentioned in the film are below.
