Illustration of the endangered Island Marble Butterfly with a map showing its critical habitat on San Juan Island, Washington.

Process

This was my first illustration assignment with The Seattle Times. I sketched the butterfly and native plant (Menzie’s pepperweed) in Procreate, then rendered the final art in Adobe Illustrator. Finally, I created the background map using a combination of Illustrator’s ArcGIS plugin and Illustrator.
