Cockroach
Not everyone's favorite creature, but I studied insect drawing for a year, and they are fascinating creatures! Unfortunately I no longer have the fuller drawings, so I post this 'overview'.
When you put an insect in a jar---and it calms down---you see that insects are amazingly segmented creatures: They have all kinds of moveable parts, and there are so many types...after a while, I thought, "holy cow: these things are walking around everyday, and they're a street fair!" I call this dude "Eddie" (Why not?) (It was between that and "King Philip III of Spain," but that name was taken, so I stuck with "Eddie".) I let him outside after I drew him. Wasn't too fond of making him a boarder...
