I hope seeing this fish will make you feel betta

I just wrapped up a Betta fish collection from a painting course.

Pink Sakura Betta Fish Digital Art Print

His name is Rusty

I've been so impressed with the ball point pen art that I have seen on this site, that I decided to give it a try. This is a Betta fish (Siamese fighting fish) done in red, blue, and purple ball point pens. Obviously, I have much to learn....but it was great fun and I have ordered some more colors since I plan on experimenting more. I've enclosed a photo of the work in progress and the various reference photos I used. The colors are more true to the final scan than in the flash photo of my drawing table.

A friend asked me to draw a few of his gorgeous betta fish. This red spicy one made me think of stormy weather and thistles. Crayola crayon.

A friend asked me to draw a few of his gorgeous betta fish. This “black Nemo” made me think of nebula and star dust - so epic! Crayola crayon.

Crayola crayons of a betta fish! I love drawing these beauties.

In this photo I drew two Betta fish, a clock and a female in a dark background. Drawing this picture was more of a self expression. The two betta fish expressed conflict; the clock expressed running out of time and the female I guess would represent myself. I was in a dark period while drawing this, but happy to say, I’ve managed to pull through my obstacles =)
