      He can only bring you love, he can’t force it down your throat

    Nice.

    I’ve had mixed results using other than black line work, but you seem to have pulled it off.

    Cheers.

      I found a quick way to change my black lines and wanted to try it out.

    Nice work. It really looks good with the non-black line work. He’s a very cute Love Bug. But then again a grotesque scary Love Bug probably wouldn’t inspire much love.

      He might be so ugly you think he is cute

    Aw how cute he is. He is the good kind of ugly, the cute kind.

      haha…the good kind of ugly

        Well there I think of it that way. Ya know sometimes when you see a really ugly piece of furniture, but what it is put with and how it is accented turns it from Tacky to tasteful.

    He’s adorable. I love the feet too.

    Have a terrific day. 🙂

    And I had always imagined a Love Bug being a huge ugly leech. ~Cynical Sam

    Just kidding (sorta)! Great design, B. I’ve been trying to practice with non-black outlines also, but can’t seem to find an easily satisfactory way to do it.

      Pretty easy in photoshop. Simple trick that allows you to color the black lines pretty easily. I’ll post about it.

    I always thought of the love bug as more of a parasite! Just kidding. I like the design.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Sounds like the perfect scientific post for your stuff.

    I am so glad he is nothing like the ones which plague the front of my truck. I think I may have to install a bug guard this summer. I loathe love bugs.

    I think you pulled off the non-black lines really well.

      Thanks Red….Love Bugs in Florida were the worst when I lived there

    Love bug? What happened to Bearman!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      It’s my softer gentler side that you would see more if you weren’t an ass..haha

        Ironic sarcasm suits you better!

    But… how am I supposed to be all snarky about something that cute?!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Can you be cute about something snarky?

    awww…the Bear has a soft spot! <3

    1. Bearman Avatar

      No, I was actually just drawing and this popped up

      1. Binky Avatar

        Out of what??

        1. Bearman Avatar

          Out of my bleeding heart

    The lines look great and the bug ain’t bad either. I ain’t a big fan of love bugs since Katrina blew in millions of them and they were everywhere. They are gone now and I don’t miss ’em.

    Oops, I squashed one of those last week in the garden.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      No more love for you

    The image looks great! Coloring the lines on my cartoons has become second nature… you can get a pretty neat look from it – as you have!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Who knew it was so easy.

  20. Perk at Work Avatar

    I’m ok with love bugs as long as they don’t lead to bed bugs.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Well if you tell them you love them, you might get them into bed

    “other than black” – so what is this color? (not the red but the other color) pea soup or worse

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Who knows. I just close my eyes and pick them (no not my nose)

    This reminds me of a computer game character from a while back, you will probably remember them saying things like ‘Follow Me’ and ‘Wait’ lol Your Love Bug is great Bearman, keep experimenting now 🙂 Wicked…

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Can’t say I recall that one.
