The DF52 2010 Collection

JB — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 05:13:07 +0000

I was looking for an image to fill a spot in the upcoming Long Flies book, so I fired up Photoshop’s built-in file viewer and started digging. As I navigated past the old DF52 2010 folder, I suddenly realized that I could see all the flies from the year at once. I liked the collage [...]

DF52 (2010) – Week 41

JB — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 18:01:26 +0000

Yeah, I know, DF52 week 41 is not in order (this is week 48), but I was thinking about big, late-season streamers, and had to re-post this. This Yellowstone Sculpin is vying to be my favorite from last year, and it is for sure in my top-five. I did one commission based on this painting, [...]

DF52 (2010) – Week 40

JB — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 18:11:50 +0000

This week’s DF52 fish image (spotted gar) turned out to be a last-second type of drawing. Too many fits and starts to be able to properly dig into the details and the play of light. Last year’s week 40 DF52 drawing, however, was just the opposite. The Wickham’s Fancy had a good start and ended [...]

DF52 (2010) – Week 39

JB — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 03:18:55 +0000

This week’s DF52 fish is going to be something a little different (stay tuned). In the meantime, above is the week 39 image from last year’s DF52 flies-only project: the Bunyan Bug. Drawn on a rock, with a rock, both of which came from the center of A River Runs Through It territory. You can [...]

JB — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 22:03:13 +0000

Drawing Fish 52 – 24_Crappie

JB — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 06:59:46 +0000

Drawing Fish 52 crappie. Done with the same CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) “3-D” look as the largemouth bass from April 7. For those unfamiliar, CMYK is the color space used in print work, and this piece uses each of the core colors in their “pure” form (well, as rendered by your RGB color-space computer [...]
