Description
I drew this weird little fish guy using ball-point pen (pictured) on a scrap of 100lb smooth bristol. He has 3 faces - 2 of them are hidden in the scales on his body

Has a sort of mythic quality to it. Like an illustration you'd find in some rare old book. Awesome piece!

holy crap... that's more tedious than the crappy clouds i drew, and the faces too.. man. i did notice soemthing weird about the scales at first glance. i thought to my self "mutated fish thingy?" and then i read the description and was like... "ohhhhh. i see them now." awsome work. how much time did this take you? and you said you did it on a brista board right was it a smooth one or a rough one?

This is beautiful. I can't draw much of anything with a ballpoint, much less in red!

You've got me so in love with the idea of miniatures that, suddenly, they're all I can think about...

I used to always work small; teachers were always after me to go bigger, and then galleries pushed for it-- miniatures will always be dear to me, though, and you are nothing short of brilliant...

I've had gallery owners buy my work...miniatures are becoming popular again
(thanks again for the sweet words

You know, maybe I will, popular or not-- You've reminded me how much I love them, and that's really the best reason of all...

Definitely

When I first noticed the ones you've photographed next to a dime, I was physically startled; I couldn't believe how much detail you stock away in there... I'm so going to do this! I'm working on something really huge right now, and one that's just somewhat huge, but after these, I'm going to follow your lead.

No worries, we all make typos
Thanks so much for your comments on this, I meant to use a black pen but couldn't find one, lol. I do think red is more fitting for this fishy though, thank goodness I couldn't find that black pen

It's hard to understand why so many people think you can't create real art with a ballpoint pen.
Lovely rendering. I'm nominating it for a favorite for being an excellent display of technical skill.
