Hyperrealistic freehand Airbrush project on wood!!- Rose beetle

My name is Melina, I am a full-time artist and specialized in realistic colored pencil, airbrush and graphite work. I feel so honored to be able to combine my great passion for animals with my creative abilities. From an early age, I spent many hours observing animals closely and trying to show my perception with all types of pencils.

This time I share with you, how I painted this rose beetle on a wooden panel. I really love the vibrant colors and had so much fun on this project. I hope you like the end result as well :) Let me read your thoughts below please.
