The Fly….Redundant



This post is redundant…because the pictures aren’t going to be that different.  No Big Time changes going on….all little tweaks!! 



Trying to maintain water consistency as seen in the background.  Increased shading to the cap and the face.



Lane line time.  Totally ad-libed this.  Only after I started to color it in on top of the watercolor base did I notice I didn’t give the lane lines much perspective.  As in…..the alternating colors getting closer as they go into the distance.  Ugh!



Lots of shadows on the arms in the photograph.

Toned down the right arm here….bringing in said shadows.  Not sure if I like it….I think the camera and lighting isn’t showing the drawing accurately.  Built up a lot of the water background.  Need to show some choppiness…..don’t know how yet!
