Description Pencil, Pen, A little black marker... and some white acrylic. Background was added in Paint shop Pro.

I'm really not sure how this one happened... my hair turned into a fish... and I kind of just ran with it.

I confess, I enjoy your self-portraits the most. Was the little fish you're staring at an addition after you went with the hair-fish motif? It adds so much character to the piece as a whole.

thank you! it was a last minute decision. Honestly, didn't even think of adding anything until the portrait was almost done

Nice work! Good realism in the face and the blend of the hair to the fish is really cool. I like the detail in the fish scales.

I'm delighted at all the detail here- her hair, the fish and all. Also, the great attention to shading.

This is amazing! the details in her hair really brings this to life. I love the way her hair turns into fishes, letting your imagination run wild is one of the best things you can do. I think the jawline could of been less sharp and more defined. Keep up the great work!

Congrats on winning second place in the My Flow contest!

I love your expression, and the fish, of course, is adorable.

I was wondering if there were some way I could post a small image or thumbnail at my blog, where I posted the list of winners. For now I just posted the linked title, but my readers would enjoy seeing your work. Of course, it will remain properly attributed and the click-through would bring them directly to this page. If you want to check it out first, here's the [link]

The figure's facial expression and the fact that she communicates with the fish gives your ID nice liveliness.

Nice technique, and an interesting theme. Too often we artists pass by well-executed b&w drawings in favor of the more brightly colored images ('magpie gene', I think.lol).

Great drawing and reat fish! I like the concept and I've always loved those drawings some artists do, where they hide elements in their drawings that don't really belong in the "main setting", but still are elemental to build it up. Am I making any sence? XD
