this is my sixth concentration piece. I was not really sure what I wanted to do for this one, it took me a long time to come up with an idea for it but my sister had just gotten a new beta fish and I was just sitting there staring at it and then I realized that I should draw that. So I decided to take a picture of the fish while it was resting near the top of the bowl and then drew it out in pencil first. I use the swirling pattern a lot and I thought that for the fins and tail that it would help to show the movement and flow that the water gives to the tail. I didn't know really what I wanted to do for the body and at first I just lightly scribbled it blue and purple with the pen but that didn't look great so I colored it darker checkered blue and purple which I think worked out really well because it creates the scale looking effect for the body which u actually really ended up liking. I was so sick of black and white and didn't want to use blue for the water so I just kinda got bored and decided to use orange, and used the black and white swirls for the bubbles, which does make the piece look as if it's swimming in orange soda which would probably be the only thing that I would change but oh well. I actually was pretty happy with this one dispite the size.
