i finished a new drawing! it was drawn entirely from life, including the (very much real) fish - i just had to do that part of the drawing very fast in one day to avoid it decomposing on me. the text on the right page is a joke with my partner, who will be receiving this drawing next time i see it!
i initially was not happy with my decision to use color in the fish, but i've come around to it now that i've added color elsewhere. this was my first major work in pen and ink, and i definitely find it more challenging than any other medium - the difficult part was not the text, funnily enough, but the paper itself. i'm not sure how readily i'll reach for pen and ink again, but it's good to have the option available.
