EEEK. Can you count yourself as an Illustration Friday contributor if you contribute only once every so often? This week’s theme was music and as the chorus to our summer days are the drone of cicadas, I thought it apt to load these quick sketches I made of the critters I found on the weekend.

I am right-handed and tried in these sketches a trick of Bridget’s, of BridBird. Bridget sometimes swaps her dominate hand to use the looser, less controlled hand, and create looser lines. It’s been a revelation.
