The last year I have definitely done more color, I used to work mostly in pencil but have no expanded to colored pencil, alcohol, watercolor and acrylicI've just been through all 16 pages of this thread. You certainly have a talent, though may I make a suggestion. Such beautiful and colourful aquarium fish look so much better in colour! Your dwarf gourami way back in post #51 is great, so much better than pencil.
And a little later on in the thread you have a datnoid. It's a great drawing don't get me wrong. This is a datnoid I did some time ago. My choice of media is Prismacolor pencils.
