This is only an idea still as i am trying to make sum money to save up for a bigger tank. :D Im an aspiring artist who loves fish and loves to draw and skatch. (Not to mention i have been told i have quite the talent for my age.) Im not going to lie im not the best in the world but you can say for yourself as i will post pics of previous work.
Just want to see if anyone would even be interested in this idea. you send me a picture of your monster clearly showing thewir markings, coloration and i will sketch/ draw them with or without color. I can add different details such as words and stuff at your request and will frame them but this would increase the cost. I have no idea on costs for this idea that is why im coming to you guys. What would you pay.
I can do them on two various sizes, 5.5 in X 8.5 in or 11inX14in.
any input would be great and thanx all who give advice.
thanks,
Logan

Woah :WHOA::WHOA::WHOA: . I would pay for a drawing of an EBJD or an Oscar :drool:. Way better then if i would drawl it (which you don't want me to). But i would myself like $20 for that bass, although i would bid higher if need be.

Great job btw
 
i usuaslly start with the mouth, than work on the outlines. After that ill move inside the fish and work on the patterns, markinds and smaller deatails.

So say i charge $ 20 for the drawing plust cost of a small frame and shipping you would buy that? btw tht one was a 5.5 in by 8.5 inch

maybe i can charge $20 for the smaller (5.5 X 8.5)
and $35 for the larger (11 X 14)

Yea i would pay 20 - 30 $ depending if i liked the fish and drawling, Which i think i bass looks sweet.

You should try a tiger oscar :drool::drool::drool:
 
not too bad you seem to have a keen eye for detail and shape. but as constructive criticism you really need to work on your shading and blending. things should flow naturally rather than looking like a coloring. but as stated much potential, just work on that shading and you'll really enjoy the results. in some art classes in school for practice take 1" x 1" squares and start from white and shade up to black, it's about layering it on and not just pressing down harder for a natural blend. for really dark shades use cross shading.
 
im not a great artist n i've never done fish but il post a few of what iv done to try n show what i mean. n as stated keep in mind i'm not a a special artist at all
