Fish day again!
Lets start with a close-up, or detail here too, as I have found out, that this gives me a bit more control over the look of the thumbnail in the feed. Not that I'm a control freak! ... nono! Not me!
How could an artist possibly be a control freak anyways... pfffft (eyeroll)
As you can see the, the close up simply shows the pencil drawing on glass a lot better than the next picture, where you can see it a s whole.
This is the piece I am currently working on. Little different from the last fish post, and also not inspired by a vacation in the Caribbean. Paper bag this time.
Title is "Mouse trap" (go figure 😉) and it is not finished at this point. Only the pencil drawing on glass so far, as explained here. The next step will be adding the colors and building a frame for it.
What color should I make her shoes?
photo by me of my own artwork. The original is graphite pencil, work in progress on reverse side of glass, as explained in this post on Hintreglas
This one really grabs my eyes. There is so much here to study. I love the mechanics of the fish, especiallly the round pieces at each moving part like under the mouth and at each fin & tail. I like his perpetual expression with downturned mouth and big wary eye, but then something is disarming and endearing about his short little round body. And then the feet and shoes are just smooth perfection... 👌🏼
Your skills are amazing my friend.

Oh, I also like that, it's not a "major aspect" of my work, but I really like that!
I love to mix things with mechanic parts, like this mechanical-insect serie I did :)

Why only red? Isn't boring only red shoes? Try some Viridian ;), or Turmaline Green. But it depends on the tones of the entire composition. :)
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Hehehe... guys like red shoes I guess ;-) I do like other colors for shoes too... right now yellow is a big favorite. Green tones are great as well, but the water will be anywhere between turquoise and translucent cyan, so that way the shoes might not stand out enough.
You are absolutely right, it all depends on the rest of the colors :-)

fantastic work - and quite a lot of control! The paper bag reminds me of a long forgotten idea for a self portrait, with a paper bag over my head. At that time (my student days) I was briefly inspired by Chuck Close.
