The next video is behind schedule, but I'll catch up soon. It's a busy time on the farm at this time of year - and I was offered a week of help by Pete the Plumber - who's brilliant at whatever he does... in this case, it's re-cladding my studio. I started the job two years ago.

Well, it took us three days, but it's finished! I'm quite surprised (and delighted!) because it's 32 feet x 20 feet (not counting the porch) and a heck of a lot of work :)

Add the teeth was great. In looking at your background I can see the pencil marks but have, perhaps, a different reaction. There is the possibility of wave motion suggested in the background. Accentuating this motion could add a dimension to your work.

Thanks so much for your comments! I was trying for subtle water movement, but I will try accentuating it the next time I draw something similar. First time drawing a fish in water.
