Awesome drawing, I love the eyes.

Eyes look much better.

BTW, I consider all your work "truly creative art", Bob.

(Jonopen)"In Escher’s original lithograph I think he got round the problem with the eyes because his carp was drawn in a stylised"
I'd convinced myself it was a woodcut, chisled into a plank or some such. No matter, at least I coloured mine in a bit, he obviously couldn't be bothered, lazy sod. I'm working on better eyes, or I might resort to dark glasses.

That's true! Although I bet yours looks even more photorealistic when converted to grayscale!

I only knew that 'Three Worlds' was a lithograph because I was fortunate to see an original copy a few years ago and blown over by the incredible fine line detail which doesn't reproduce well in the books and posters.

Re eyes: no need for dark glasses (for you or the fish!) - you've completely nailed them (a rather unfortunate turn of phrase). This is one of the most inspiring Xara drawings I've seen in a long while. Thanks.

Thanks, to everyone, for the comments. It's the first thing I've sat down and made in a couple of months. I might have to try harder and sit down more.

One awesome piece of work, Derek.
