Jokke: Drawing of Ants (23. Okt 2007 20:59)

I drew Skippy's Messor Muticus http://www.antstore.net/download.php?id=3453
taken from http://www.antstore.net/viewtopic.php?t=4515&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15
Couldn't find a more detailed picture to draw.
If you do know any better pictures for me to draw feel free to show them to me. I'd love to draw them.

Image was taken with K800i mobile phone with 3.2 megapixel and autofocus, no idea that the quality and size of the photo would be so great (and large).

And yeah...I drew this really quick so there may be some flawes, no funny background on the pic to draw either (no offence to anyone :P )
And I didn't wanna make the ant as black as it is in the picture because then you shouldnt be able to see anything. I had a hard time seeing the details and improvised.

And yeah, it was too easy to draw.

By the way, first time drawing ants.
