This image had originally been only the two black outlined fish. The point of the project was to utilize a ripped piece of cardboard as our own makeshift brush and experiment with ink to create different strokes. I eventually noticed a repetition of certain lines and dots and saw the potential of creating two different fish. I felt like I was done experimenting and put the image away. However, I stumbled upon it a couple months later and decided to try to expand on it. I started by adding color to the fish, so they became orange and yellow. Then I tried to create a washed out blue/green background to represent the water. I created a heavy dark blue outline in watercolor, then took a straw and blew hard so that it'd create splattered like lines. Then on a separate paper I made the orange fish and octopus, cut it, then pasted it onto this image appropriately.
Update: I'm proud to say I submitted this, Strike a Pose, and What's the Buzz to the OC Fair and they all received awards! This one and What's the Buzz got a red ribbon which is like a grouped second place award, while my Strike a Pose drawing got a blue ribbon which is like a grouped first place award!!!
