A picture with lines in pencil and color in digital, presenting general view and a detailed take on a Chicala plant (scientific name Tecoma Stans). The first showing the long, trumpet like, yellow flowers with five petals, and the closed ones. The second, showing a zoom to one of the flowers, from outside; the other, from inside, with a long pistil and short stamens.
A picture drawn in pencil, painted digitally, presenting 4 species of bees; a honey bee (apis melifera), a black honey bee (the german variation), a bee with long antennas (tygather) and a bumblebee (bombus).

Something I did last year for my bee biology class! Here is some stuff in spanish about the Tecoma Stans (commonly known as Chicala) which is a native Colombian plant I studied for some weeks to look at their polinators and insects around! (such as honey bees, which are not native; and some bumblebees like thygater aethiops and bombus hortulanus, both native. I also saw spiders, beetles and flies, but they are photos rather than illustrations) :D

Not gonna lie, I would love to participate in projects to make scientific illustrations someday!
