I did this piece using alcohol based markers. I drew a simple human skull with multiple butterflies on or around it. It took me around two hours to finish this project. I was trying to make this project dark with a slight 'beauty' element, hence the butterflies. This is a repetition piece because there are multiple butterflies and they are all the same type of butterfly. I pretty much finished what I had planned to do. It would have been nice to have a few other butterflies, but I also think that would make the sketch too crowded. I knew I wanted to do the skull but I wasn't sure what I wanted to put around it. After scrolling through Pinterest I saw some cool pictures of skulls with butterflies that I liked and decided to go with that. I think the project was pretty successful. The markers I was using were pretty new so I learned a lot about how to use them. They are pretty different than Copic markers, which I have used before. The project was pretty rigorous because I had to test the markers before I used them each time to check how they would blend together and how the colour transferred to the special marker paper I was using.
