It was great practice with anatomy, and a really nice break from my main uni project.
I've decided that it's not a bad thing at all to do work for free- it'll still get my art and name around and hopefully generate a bigger interest. So for certain amounts of time after uni ends I'll be open for free requests. It's also a great way to practice working to client's briefs, and to get used to drawing other peoples characters in my own style. Because of this I've also been considering doing some kind of fan art- I've been told countless times that industry companies and professionals like to see that you can draw a character and still keep it recognisable in your own style.
I'll be colouring this when I have some more free time.
This last image is going to be another fish portrait for a very inspirational lady who rescues unwatned, sick and injured tropical fish and other animals. These particular fish are called Texas Cichlids, and this is the reference image that I'm using (with permission of course).
I've had quite a bit of interest in these fish portraits, like this one here:
And it's gotten me thinking about trying to take pet portrait commissions. I've been thinking of a business plan for the past couple of weeks for when I leave uni, so I'll be writing that up in detail over the next few days.
