Artwork- Zebra Zensations Brush Pen and PM-701 Permanent Marker on Hahnemühle Nostalgie Postcard
I actually started this drawing early in September. I was visiting the Basspro store and they have a HUGE aquarium that takes almost a whole wall. I did contour drawings of a few of the fish, and then had to leave the store. When I saw the prompts for today I remembered the drawing and finished it up. There’s plenty of fish, but I don’t see the bait so I think they already ate it!
Prompts:
Official Inktober: Bait
Doodlewash: Fish
Today is the 3rd day of Inktober, where anyone who is interested is challenged to do an ink drawing every day of October.

I really like this image – it has an Oriental flare,very effective in black ink. I don’t think it’s only the subject which is obvious, but also the way the background meanders around the fish, mimicking their movements.
Thank you, Sharon! I really enjoyed this drawing, creating it in steps as it were, over a period of time. Sometimes you get the best effects that way. And sometimes, of course, you don’t, lol.
