Drawing Fish 52 – 12_Lake Trout
Drawing Fish 52 lake trout. A good choice for this week, I think, given the on-going issues and discussions concerning the lake trout problem in Yellowstone.
Notes: Went with a style that I’ve been employing for a few of the 30-minute fish. Fast and open, but it still has a sense of detail that is enhanced by adding color to the blank areas. There is a single line on the fish that created all of main spotting patterns without a lift in the pencil (starts below the eye, goes all around the gill plates, ends up on top of the fish’s back). Sort of irrelevant to the end result, but I thought it was something interesting to do as an illustrator.
Tech Info: Pencil and watercolor on vellum.
