Description
Spotted Eagle Rays.I've been trying to work on this piece in hopes of making a little series....kind of at a stand still right now...brain fart...but I imagined these Spotted Eagle Rays soaring through the clouds...like a flock of birds (similar movements)....blah blah. Clearly that idea didn't work here.
I sketched them out first on paper - took a photo - brought into Photoshop and erased the black outlines...etc etc.
I have a hard time getting my ideas and images in my head "down on paper". So frustrating. Stupid Eagle Rays. This is nothing like I had pictured it.....still sort of in progress.

I like, I like
I would hang it on my wall thats for sure
or it would make a super cool shirt
and I would wear it!
hahaha
but yes sadly I have the same problem with not getting my ideas on paper...I have a lot of stuff written down but I never do anything with it
we should collaborate
I usually give my friend Georgina ideas because shes a graphic designer

Thanks. Yeah I'm still mad that it's not what I wanted it to be. Like I can still picture clear as day what I wanted to do, just the executing it part is not working in my favor.
Glad you like it though!
