Bluegill Drawering 11/18

This is just a filler post. I haven't really had a reportable trip lately, but I got a burst of creativity after some friends asked if I'd help 'em out and design them a couple of postcards. It got me thinking about trying my hand at some painting or drawing or something else creative. All of which I've done; long ago. But after a few aborted acrylic "test" paintings, an idea came to me, and to help with planning out a painting I thought I'd use my Mac to block out the colors, and get a game plan. Well, that snowballed and I ended up doing a vector illustration, from a photo I snapped of one of the bigger bluegill I caught this summer. It's just fancy tracing really, and building color and detail, layer by layer, until I had something I was happy with. I'm sure I'll futz with it even more, I just thought it was worth posting up as is for now. I'll post up the original snap shot as well.



There it is. Hopefully I'll have actual fish to report on soon.
