Weaving dreams
I'm sharing with you my contribution to @everlove's Collaborative Art Journey..."DREAM WEAVER" No. 33. Again, @everlove has provided the Steemit community with another beautiful image to inspire the collaborations, "DREAM WEAVER".
Something fishy
As I looked at @everlove's image different shapes began to stand out to me, including shapes that looked like fish tails.
The lines in "DREAM WEAVER" reminded me of a hanging decoration I had brought back from Asia, the lines of the threads on the fish have a similar pattern.
Pen drawing
I started by drawing out the shape of fishes in pencil, I then used a red marker pen to draw in the red circle for the eye. Using black pen I built up lines across the body to reflect those in @everlove's image.
Digital layers
The next stage was to scan the drawing, and using a graphics editor build up layers of colour. I noticed turquoise in the "DREAM WEAVER" image, so I used a lighter tone of this to shade one of the fishes.
