Fish looks a little tough (for eating

) Nice work on the wood and text. Fish looks pretty cool also.

That's a very cool fish, BP.

I never tried drawing fishes because of the very diffcult task to render the skin. Very nice image, very good first try. Lupen

That looks great BP. I notice most of you great artist do the sketches before the actual lines and colors. Newbie Question, do you use the Pen Tool or Free Hand Brush?

Thanks Ontos for your comment, and i use all three tools, but the most of all shapes, i draw i use the pen tool and then adjust the shapes with the shape editor tool. for some highlight and some shape i use the freehand tool. Regards BP
