Description
A fisherman, by his crab pot.What a way to earn his living... I've been watching Deadliest Catch lately (on Discovery Channel), and found it interesting. I'm glad to see people actually wanting to do hard labor work nowadays. Being a farmer girl myself, I'd rather have a hammer in my hand, than a computer any day! It's more than a job, it's a way of living. They seem to genuinely love their job, even if it's tough and dangerous.
That inspired me to do this tribute.
to people out there, doing jobs I would never consider doing!I've made a series of crabfishing drawings:
Donβt Let Go
Fisherman
Tanner Taxi
Pencils 2H to 4B, size A4, took me about five days. Finished 02. Oct -08. Reference photos from the net.

Thank you! It's quite some years old, but I still like it. Back when I had some creativity. Hehe!

Indeed it does! It's a composition of multiple references, so I'm glad someone's able to recognize him. Hehe!

I really appreciate your comment about my comment!

MY pleasure. If a picture appeals to me I like to see what, if anything is said, the artist had in mind. In yours, I love both. And thank you for it.

Hehe! Great to meet another DC fan, especially someone so obsessed! Glad it's not just me
Have you seen the new season? I haven't (since it has to be translated before it's on TV here) but I heard it's interesting! Darn, now I want to see it! Maybe I'll have to watch it online...

yeah i've been watching it right along .... IT'S REALLY GOOD!
Want me to give you a summary?

Wow. This is great.
You know... I think he kind of looks like Edgar Hansen. Captain Sig's brother.

Thank you!
Yay! It is Edgar, or modelled after him anyway

Your welcome!
I love Edgar.

I know, he's awesome! So darn attractive, and with a great personality. Too good to be true really
They have a good crew in general too, seems to be quite eager to work and loving what they do. Fun to watch anyway!

He really is very attractive.
I'm so addicted now to Deadliest Catch. I always watch it whenever Discovery has an episode of it on even if I've seen the episode about 20 times. xD

lol, me too!
They have just started sending the new season here in Norway, because of translations and stuff, so I'm hanging onto every word!
The more you watch it, the more people you notice and remember it seems.
It's strange how a show about crabfishing can be at all interesting, but it's not about the fishing, it's about the people, drama, action and the dangers. Lol, that sounded like a commercial

I love watching episodes in different languages. xD It's so funny.
It's really true. I think after the first season people just stopped watching it for the fishing and watched it more the crews.
π: 0 β©: 1
You can actually watch them with different languages? I've only ever heard Mike Rowe, that horrible british guy with the strange accent and the norwegian version, which is not half-bad. I guess it's a way to learn languages, though
Yeah, fishing is boring! 
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, I found a few online and found them very entertaining. xD
It truly is. So, are you still watching Season 5 or no? 'Cause I don't want to ruin anything for you.
π: 0 β©: 1
Watching things in different languages can be very amusing, I agree.
Yeah, think it's the third episode I missed this tuesday, have to watch the rerun tomorrow. We're horribly late here.

Damn, that really sucks that it takes forever for you guys to get the episodes.

OH my god that's so amazing. I think that's Edgar

It is! Glad he is recognisable!
Thanks

Yeah, I know my crab fishermen. ^^
Welcome.

Why thank you! He's not a difficult man to get a good picture of, with his looks...

It's Edgar! I love him... and I love this drawing of him too.

I featured this in my journal, hope that's ok ^^

Awww, is that Edgar? Your drawing captures his quirky personality perfectly!
The entire drawing is really well done. Your shading in particular is superior! I suck so bad at it, I'm jealous! Good job!
New Deadliest Catch episodes in April!
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes it's supposed to be Edgar! 
Unfortunately, I have to wait even longer for the new episodes, since I live in Norway. ): Think it's in july/august they're released here. But oh well, it's worth the wait! It's strangely addictive, crab fishing

I'm impressed by the rope and how you made the material on his clothes show clearly. The folds and contrast are awesome too

Thank you so much!
I loved doing the details, such as the folds and rope, isn't that just the most fun part of a drawing?
π: 0 β©: 1
You're very welcome
I can't agree with you on that, actually.. xD I like doing faces the most (unless they look like someone else than the one I'm drawing <_<

Great drawing (love the shading detail in the jacket).
Those crab fishermen are amazing people (the show is great).
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks a lot!
Oh yes, they have a tough, but interesting job! The show is put together in a way that makes in interesting too.

People throw around words like "amazing" all over the place.. I don't think they're a good way to summarize someone's art. This is really interesting, it really captures the moment and feeling of the picture. It's definitely great work; a small asset in your spectacular gallery.

Thank you so much!
And I agree wholeheartedly, even if I'm guilty of using words like "amazing" and "fantastic" myself. I guess I have a small vocabulary...
I'm glad you could find meaning in my drawings. That's what I tried to achieve.

That's my favorite fishermen from Deadliest Catch!
π: 0 β©: 1
Hehe, me too
Well, there's quite a few with strong personalities there. I guess you have to be a bit crazy to do that kind of job...
π: 0 β©: 0
your drawings are just amazing, i'm shocked at how brilliant some people are at drawing and you seem to be one of them!
π: 0 β©: 1
Hehe, thanks a lot!
It's only practice and experience, really. Drawing is not science, and everyone can be good at it. It just takes years of dedication.
