Coloured pencils on drafting film
Something different this time which took me a little out of my comfort zone, being more used to doing creatures with fur than scales, but I always love to try something new. The client gave me the freedom to work in whichever medium I chose, and whilst I have really enjoyed painting lately, I find nothing beats the coloured pencil on drafting film for finer details. Apart from that, I haven't much to add, and hope everyone is having a wonderful week!!!! :)

Stunning work Karen. There is a lovely opaque look about it. great colors and a fantastic job.
I am sure your client will be blown away with this. It's awesome.
You are lovely Dors - the client has actually come back and said the scales aren't quite right - I'm not sure I'm cut out to draw fish, but it was good to give it a go :)
great job Karen. You need to try a few more of these. I love it.
I couldn't say if the scales are correct or not, but it looks great to me! Like Dors said, great colors.
Thank you so much Gary and Barbara for your encouraging comments!!! :)
Lively composition and great colour Karen! I would not have known any differnt about the scales, but then that's what sets Fanciers apart.
Reminds me of the time I was commissioned to draw an Axolotl (Mexican Walking Fish/Salamder) for print reproduction. What a nightmare as I somehow convinced myself that stippling was the way to go with shading. Cross off many, many MANY hours of my life spent going "dot, dot, dot, dot, dot....."
OMG - you're always good for a belly laugh Cindy. I can just see you dot, dot, dotting your axolotil - how funny!!! Congrats on your article too, I'm thrilled for you!!! :)
