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!
