Carapace

I have a great visual reference for most insects thanks to a sweet book I was given a while back. I wasn't sure how this would turn out, but I'm surprised at what I was able to achieve. The only technique I feel wasn't very effective this time was using masking fluid for the direct highlights: it looks kind of sloppy. Next time I will just apply sparingly and use lifting techniques for those highlights.

A Competent Profile

As I start to become more familiar with proportions and measurements for the various faces I attempt to draw, I am starting to wonder how to make a more complete portrait with my limited time. Do I stick to lines? Do I bring a brush and some ink? Which lines should I include? Which shapes are important to represent? Maybe this is a good time to look at the work other artists have done and try to work out some of their methods.
