After doing something so difficult, I decided I wanted a break and wanted to tackle something a lot easier.  I found a fish design and this was the result.



Ironically, it proved to be a troublesome picture.  The paper reacted to the felts.  The felts were eating away the paper as I coloured in the picture.  I changed the original picture by adding a triangular shape to give more contrasting areas.  I tried a lot of different ideas, and I don't think I got the picture to work as well as the others.  Its a flawed picture, but it offered learning opportunities.  I wish I had chosen different colours.  Also the blue in the fish doesn't work.  I was aiming for a fish that could camouflage itself behind seaweed.  It looks more like a mechanical, steampunk fish.  Oh well!
