A sketch that includes Bug and this bee, somehow....

Theme Team: The Great Bumblebee Rescue.

Word Weaver:
Hold on tight, the world’s a blur,
Through buzzing wings and golden fur.
With every twist and loop, we see,
A garden full of mystery!

  1. Keep it Yours!
    Original drawings only, from sentient beings: humans, bugs, bears, fish, dogs—it’s all good. Bots? Nope!

  2. Stick to the Prompt:
    Your sketch should be inspired by Doodle’s prompt. Let your imagination roam, but stay within the theme!

  3. One Entry Per Artist:
    Only one entry per person, please. We’ll check by e-mail, and we know you could get clever… but one sketch is all we need!
