Trying something a bit different. I went for the strong shape and the bright colors. This is a different style they I want to keep on experimenting with on upcoming fish. I want to achieve a strong recognizable shape while keeping the detail to a minimum. My goal is have just enough detail that the species is recognizable. I want to feel as if I put down one more stroke, it would have been one too many.I really want to try pushing the limit with this concept.

About Drawing Flies

I initiated the creation of this blog as a challenge. The challenge is to draw a fly a day for an entire year. Part of the challenge is the discipline to accomplish this every day and the other is to expand my creativity and to help find my artistic voice. The sky is the limit on how the flies will be created. You may have wondered, "why is he drawing flies?" My other hobby is fly fishing and fly tying. I also welcome the challenge of drawing the natural materials that are used in the flies. So hang on and enjoy the ride for the next 365 days!
