DA Tutorial Butterfly — Description

Just something for #BonnySnowdonAcademy (and maybe to earn myself a Butterfly Badge). I normally don't do tutorials, unless it involves animals, so I just couldn't pass this one up.
This species, I believe it to be, is a monarch butterfly, one of the most known and perhaps most popular butterflies around. The monarch is not only one of the most familiar of North American butterflies, but it's also an iconic pollinator and is sometimes known as the milkweed butterfly, given that milkweed is one of this butterfly's favorite plants. This butterfly species is also known for its long migrations. I tried to make this look realistic and accurate, by butterfly standards, yet, there are just a lot of details you'd have to keep in mind and keep up with. It's still worth drawing the star of the butterfly world.
