2nd place in Sea Animal Portraits competition!

My turtle illustration got second place in another deviantArt competition! I should really have come fourth, but two people ahead of me got disqualified for not following all the competition rules. Ah well, I'll take it :-)

2nd place in Underwater Life contest

I've just found out that I got 2nd place in an underwater life contest through deviantArt with my latest turtle illustration!

It's hardly a huge deal but it will give me a few features of my work and a little more recognition within the site. And it gives me an excuse to write another blog entry which are pretty few and far between really.

Better than a hole in the head!

Swimming Turtle WIP 2

Making progress, slowly. I'm really wanting to finish this in the next couple of weeks, it's been dragging on for too long now. 

Another swimming turtle WIP

WIP. My third turtle illustration. I have drawn this one a little larger than the previous turtle drawing so I could get more detail in and make it look more realistic.

Swimming turtle 2

Coloured pencil on paper. I used a clear solvent pen on the water to smooth out the pencil a little. It kind of worked. Size A5.
