Goldfish in Pastels (video)

So, here is another speed video of me drawing something. My first one can be seen here; it's a drawing of Alicia Keys. This drawing is of a goldfish and the final finished drawing is below the video.

I really like drawing with pastels, they're so...fluid. You can make them blend smoothly and you can make sharp lines for those tiny details. In all honesty, I'm not too pleased with this drawing, especially when compared to the currants that I did in a previous post. But I have one more Pastelbord to use (I'll probably just end up buying more), and maybe for that one, I'll draw flowers. Who knows?

As a stock photo, I used this photo from DeviantArt (and now that I compare them, mine is a lot fatter, oh well). I also made a few minor edits to the drawing in-between finishing the video and taking the final picture. The entire drawing took me a little less than 40 minutes while the video editing took a few hours.


The finished drawing




Hmm, I might add some more orange or yellow to the background to make it less pure blue (or I might not out of laziness).
