I only had 2 side fins (where human arms would be) and two bottom fins! non around the middle area! and the very back fin I made look like a heart! 3 so this helps alot! and the back fin to, thank you for posting! I will keep this in mind for later

This is gorgeous stuff. I love the use of the colours on the paper itself. Superb.

Must you take to everything you turn your hand to like a duck to water? The rest of us lesser mortals are simply put to shame.

Wow. If you can produce this now, I can't wait to see what you do when you can control the brush! Amazing

Samarai [2012-08-14 13:52:19 +0000 UTC]

Kind of makes me wonder what will happen when you do get control..
If this is you at the mercy of the brush, you in control is kinda scary.
Of course.. this is how I know you are a true artist. I could take lessons for a year and never approach this degree of expertise.. and here you are, complaining that it is not quite up to expectations..

Rock on, woman.

Thank you very much for you kind words!! I appreciate your comment a lot, coming from an expert of those beautiful creatures.

I am koi-sitting at the moment for a friend, and I have to say I really love them. I had never any contact to (alive) fish before, and I am surprised how much character they have, each one of them with a different personality. I could sit and watch then all day... and the joy they express when I offer food is just hilarious!

wonderful work and very precise drawing. I can't see where the brush didn't obey

Thank you very much for your kind comment!
I am glad it doesn't show, but I had this drawing slightly different in my mind, but lack of confidence and experience lead to the way it looks now. *Not* that I am completely unthankful the way it has turned out, it's just not as it was intended to be.
