Wow, amazing work! The detail is simply incredible! The scales look so realistic, and I can even see the light reflect on them. I really love the scatter of water drops too, those almost look... cartoony, but I think it really fits. Great job on the water too, water's always really hard to draw. ._. At least that's what I think. Anyway, good job! By the way, what did you use to color it? It kind of looks like a mix of colored pencils and maybe... acrylics?

also all the most recent pieces are done in oils! so there are lots of layers. i found that oil paints are the way to go if you're looking for realism the most...

Oh that's neat, don't think I'd ever try that though... xD I'd fail so badly.

Nooo, I'm sure I would fail. xD I have no talent or for that matter, experience, with oil paints.

well you know what they say...practice...practice makes perfect! i have only been painting for 2 years...once you get the feel of it, it is much easier than acrylics and always looks better!

Yeah, but pencils have always been my thing I guess. ^^ Though I'll have to try it someday I'm sure.

CCCC: Like i said on the phone, i just love your fish! This one is so clear and detailed. Fishing in the rain is by far the best way to fish ;D

Good bass fishing on a cold and rainy day??? Gotta say that's a new one on me.... but now that I think about it, I've never gone fishing when it was worse than chilly and drizzling.

What part of the US are you having such good luck in?

Nice pic, btw
