"Reptilian Fish" by William N

Pencil & Colored Pencil 9"x12" When someone looks at my art piece they will see an alligator gar chasing a smaller fish called the blue gill. A question that guided me in the creation of this art piece was “How can I show emotion without putting it in obvious expression?” Despite using this medium many times I did learn that when using colored pencils that underwater lighting can be best shown by vertical lines. This piece had one of the longest sketching phases because when I was first coming up with the idea I couldn’t decide what pose I wanted the gar to be in. After creating this work I want to create something that is not real, maybe make my own characters.
