THE FISH BOWL

Welcome to the fishbowl!!

***

 

I am really fond of these little guys...

I stepped out of my comfort zone

of collaging a found image 

and hand drew these fish!!

I am quite please with the out come!

 

The backgrounds were all done with alcohol inks,

stamps, inks and gel pens!

I made these for a swap on ATC's For All

http://www.atcsforall.com/

I sure hope they go to good homes 

cause they are special to me!!

MEET THE FISH!!

***

 

This is "Angelo" the Angel Fish!!

**

I wish I could say that I came up with this idea,

but I did see this image on the internet,  

and I decided to draw him myself!!

I used the original image as a visual,

and free hand drew him!

I used markers, sharpies, & gel pens to color him in!!

I did add the halo (not on the original)

once it he was placed on the card!

****

 

This is "Scarlet O' Herring"!!

**

Scarlet is colored bright red,

using markers, sharpies, and gel pens.

There are very faint red spots on her in this picture,

after I added her to the card

I added black dots on the spots & tail.

(see above finished card)

She is the plainest of the fish I drew,

but I just love the way she turned out!

****

This is "Korry" the Koi!!

**

Korry (along with Angelo) was the more

challenging of the four.

Koi's have lots going on with

different colors and pattens!

I used other koi images

 as visuals as I drew this,

then colored him with markers,

sharpies, and gel pens.

I love the way he turned out!

****

This is "Goldie" goldfish!!

**

I wanted to do a big happy goldfish

and I ended up with Goldie!

She is the same as the others,

hand drawn and colored in

using markes, sharpies and gel pens.

I think she is adorable....

its kinda Dr. Seuss-ish to me!!

"It's good to be gold!"

****

The outcome....

I think I will keep practicing my drawing! 

 I might get good one day!
