This Insect Alphabet Took Me 2 Years To Complete

ADVERTISEMENT

I worked on this personal project for about 2 years. Yes, 2 years.

It was something I didn’t want to rush so I always left it aside when I had to work on something else. But finally I managed to give it more time and now it is done. For this one I used only colored pencils on paper.

Thanks for the comments. I know what they are but that wasn't my point. It is not a scientifical project it is a design and drawing one.

It's beautiful! I love your style. very old-school, yet strangely modern! Must I mention I've eaten crickets before?

Paula, these are arthropods, insects are just a group within arthropods, you have a scorpio, a spider and a centipede, which are not insects

Really cool! But for the life of me I cannot figure out what's going on in G, L, and T! Someone help! Agree with the arthropod statements.

Beautiful, makes me think of the flower fairies. Imagine how quick we would learn to read and write if alphabets looked like this at school!

really nice work! :) Have you thought of an exhibition? If this is oil on canvas could work as a nice collection to be sold around the world

That's the capital letters, now two more years for the small ones and you'll have yourself a font ;)

We had a similar project before but the name of the insect should match each letter: A=ant. Good job, nonetheless!

It's not based on the names you say "ant" I say "furnica" and so on in different languages.
