So...
I do a lot of koi.
And that was the reason for this one.
We wanted something I could do confidently,
and (fairly) quickly.
She said she wasn't a Butterfly kinda gal.
And wasn't in the mood for a dragon.
The idea was to have
something her co-workers MIGHT think
she would ACTUALLY get...
If she t'were to tat.
As confident as I am with koi though,
after adding the whiskers, I thought the face
was a little short.
And since there was already a black border,
it made the extension a bit dark.
But then I realized the darkness created a bit of depth. Almost a "bottle-nose," like on a dolphin.
As simple as this discovery seems,
it's really something that can be employed
with future canvas sessions - only on purpose.
Meantime - happy with this one,
and with this discovery of creating shade,
and depth, I don't feel like this one is
"simply another koi."
Thank you J.
You KNOW that anytime I'm in Boston,
I gonna hope to do this again,
right?
