A Bee for Lola

This is my first go at drawing on the computer. I find it quite difficult as the mouse is massive, like a huge crayon. So no good for my OCD drawings. Good for using bold colours though and a more graphic feel.

The first bees of the year are out I said I'd draw one for my friend Lola. I like bumblebees best.

Some facts:

Bumblebees are a harmless bee that hardly ever stings. The friendly bumblebee lives in a small underground colony of perhaps 100 bees. There are twenty five different kinds of bumblebee in the UK and over two hundred and fifty kinds in the world. The myth that says bumblebees shouldn't be able to fly was based on bad maths. They do fly, we've all seen them.
