Imperial Moth Drawing

A few days ago while walking Lani outside early morning, I saw what I first thought was a leaf on the ground.  Then I realized it was moving.  When I walked up to it, I thought sure it would fly off but it just remained in place.  Not sure if injured or if feeding.  

The size of this moth was about the size of my hand with wings spread out as seen here.  What looked like brown and yellow is actually a brownish purple color and I tried to capture as close to life as I could.

6B BJD pencil, Liner 1 pencil, and Gouache.  Because the moth had a fuzzy look to it, I chose the 6B pencil to capture that look.
