Fish

Pen, Colored Pencil, Drawing Paper

9"-12"

For this project everyone was given a ink dot on a piece of paper. I wanted to chose a different one but it was already taken, so I chose one that had a big dot and a smaller one. My first idea was to draw a sea shell. However, I didn't know what to do with the other dot, and it would also just be a floating shell wherever it was going to be placed. So instead I made two fish in the ocean with seaweed.

I made this piece of work up at my camp. I didn't have an idea I just kinda started drawing. I did know that I wanted a border tho. Other than that I didn't have an idea of what I wanted to do with this at all.

The first thing I did was find out what I wanted my image to be. Once I decided I was going to draw a fish I got a black colored pencil and lightly drew some seaweed and the tails to the fish. After that, since I didn't have any rulers I got a piece of duct tape and created a border with it. I folded as much as I wanted my border to be then stuck it to the table. After I drew my boarder I wne tin with a black pen and teased my outlines and then colored it in. I knew I wanted it to be a silhouette because the dot of ink was all black. After I finished that I colored the ocean with a light blue colored pencil.
