Animal art prompts are getting more fun and less stressful to attempt. Thinking back on this page I sketched out only one tadpole, when have you ever seen just one tadpole? Of coarse not! There's usually a cluster of eggs which means of coarse many tadpoles, I guess it will be another do over for me 😄
I do enjoy water and ocean animals. This little tadpole, I decided needed to be a blue green, but he actually turned out to be more green gray and I am perfectly fine with him.
And the starry hand fish, don't even get me started, what a character! I love the pointed horns on the back, I say horns for lack if a better word. This fish reminds me of the horned toad, but who ever heard of a horned fish? I know, I bet if I did an internet search I would find them, but for the sake of a good discussion I'm just putting it out there. I used watercolor markers which did not blend as it should on the pages which are not watercolor paper, so can't really fault the markers. I ended up using the watercolor markers as regular markers and not adding water of coarse, which would have been a complete waste of time. I do like how the colors popped and each animal was colorful and fun. This was definitely a good time. How did your animals come out? what tools did you use?
