Black & White Hunters ~ Another Drawing by Special K

Attachment 228508

I've been pretty busy lately, as it seems I've had an awful lot of things going on, but I always try to find a little bit of free time to experiment with drawing our favorite fish species in a bit more natural action postures... if for no other reason... I find it most relaxing. I'm sure some of the jig tiers on the forum know exactly what I'm talking about. I actually believe sometimes I may be a great candidate as the next poster child for OCD when it comes to obsessing about the details at some things I do... but my parents (gone on to be with the Lord) had me tested and everyone they took me to swore I was normal. LOL

I have been doing a little frontal, twisting and jumping types of views in some of my sketches, hoping to continue to improve, but this particular one just kinda kept my interest over a couple of weeks (an hour here and an hour there) to see how it might develop until it evolved into what you see above.

I have entitled it "Black & White Hunters." Please take a moment to check it out and let me know what you think.

Thanks and May God Bless

Awesome. Waters surface is amazing.

Very well done. You are very talented.

Great drawing, it will replace your last drawing as My screen saver, like to keep My pc looking fresh. One question, how do You get the fish to sit still long enough to draw them?

Very nice sir!!

I think you have a superb talent.

Great question: I used to use what is known as "reference pictures" from which I simply tried to duplicate the drawing as close as possible... but it seems like I have better results or outcomes if I create a base posture or action posture for the fish and then use pictures as a reference (only) to add some of the natural details, coloration, shading and/or highlights. Plus, the drawing just seems more original, imaginative and creative to me that way... and more of my own rendition of what I (first) see and create in my own mind.
