It also looks cool.
Inspired by a prompt from @-DrxgonScxles- These types of activities are actually a really cool idea! I greatly enjoyed this one. I usually don't draw insects (my phobia of them generally makes me avoid it), but this time I was able to do it! :D Might even help me in limiting my phobia.
