ink and colored inks from sketchbook
It's been awhile since I've done a #SundayFishSketch and this week's theme was a good one. The fish sketch theme of 'beastly' fish is in conjunction with the #SciArtSeptember challenge of the same word.
Originally, I was going to go with another fish, but after a little bit of digging learned that it was an AI generated fake fish, so I ignored that trash and went with an even weirder and real-life fish called the Red Lipped Batfish. In my original sketch, I used some red colored inks to do the lips, as they actually have bright red lips, as if heading out on the town. But, I like the greyscale look better and went with that. So, these fish are found around the Galapagos Islands and off the coast of Peru and you could not find an odder looking fish if you tried. Well, actually, you probably could, but this one will rank up there somewhere.
