Couldn’t get the nose/mouth area right. Or the eyes. Sigh.

Hard to sketch, even when standing perfectly still

Goldfish, Sketch 043

Posted on March 13, 2015 by treshabarger

Until the last few sketches, I’d been using actual objects or photographs of objects. With the fish (and dragon, of course), I looked up some illustrations and “just tried it.”

Goldfish, mostly

And as I’m into trying new things, I thought I’d actually use some of my colored pencils. The word “goldfish” invokes the idea of color, so why not? I’m glad I tried something new, but I think my results are so-so. But, hey, it’s only a sketch!
