Decided to try something simpler and came up with this stingray inspired from those in Seal Beach. Tried a little gouache and color pencil mix and then sprayed some clear acrylic coating. So, if it does hit the water, it protected...:)
I've been frustrated with the results of the surf fin, especially when dealing with colors. So, I'm gonna ease back on the colors and try a very limited palette from now on.
Here's a start to a new direction. It's a longboard skate deck with some angelfish on it.
Summer's here and this is hopefully, one of many projects to come. Trying some PS color study before the real thing, which will be in watercolor and color pencil.
Scrapped the watercolor route and went back to the basics.....pencil.
