Progress Report

I thought I'd pop in and give you a progress report on my bug coloring book. I feel like I have enough bugs drawn now - 12 - and so I'm working on editing my drawings.  I've scanned them and am going through the pain-staking process of cleaning them up.  For instance, right now I'm in the middle of combing through my dragonfly drawing.  See this leaf....

And now it's a bit less messy (still working on it).

I'm not going for perfection.  Like I mentioned in my last post, I kind of like the human-element of a little bit of imperfection in my art.  My goal is just less messy.  Even so, I can see myself dragging my feet on this step and taking forever just because the next steps are more intimidating...

• Create a cover (probably a title would be important as well)
• Write/create an introduction page
• Put it all together as a PDF

Those are the next few steps, after I finish the editing bit. Then I am self-publishing this book through CreateSpace (not sure if I've mentioned that yet).

Someone asked me the other day which bug was my favorite.  I was stumped in the moment, but I think now it's either the moth or the spider
