| Doodle Pantry Finny Fish |
Today in class we learned to draw long and short fur and add scales. I do not like the look of drawn on fur. Unless it is done by an artist (which I am NOT) it tends to look contrived. Therefore, I searched for a digital image to apply scales to. I had alligators and dragons, but they already had circles drawn on them where the scales should go, so I decided to use this fish instead.
I made several of these in different colors. As I was coloring them I saw how they looked in three different stages: Plainly colored with no shading (boring, but how I use to color), Shaded but no scales (how I have been doing things for a few years now) but next to the ones with scales, it was still ho-hum, and then this shaded with scales. It is definitely an improvement.
