We had a guest here who loved fishing.  She went fishing everyday and on her last day here she caught 49 fish!  Holy cow!  Even our fishing guide was super impressed.  She took a picture of a fish she caught in a net and she thought it would be an interesting piece to draw.  This is my attempt.

and yes, i completed a background.

Make up, schmake up

Drawing people with make up is difficult.  Things usually appear to be quite dramatic and/or severe.  I have learned this first hand.  I am not really happy about my final product, but i am ready to move on.  I also hate backgrounds, but i thought i should add on to see if it made it any better.
