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!
