Description
There is an interesting story behind this unfinished fish.
After I retired I sometimes went in to do a bit of 'supply' teaching, mainly in the art department, and on this occasion I sat with a small group of less able 12 year old boys.
They seemed at best puzzled, and even uninterested in the task in hand, so as the rest of the class were stuck in to their work I concentrated on engaging these chaps.
I started this fish, and 4 of the 5 of them did the same, as they now could see how to go about it. At the end of the hour number 5, who had done Sweet Fanny Adams, said to me " Ere Miss...you never done that! (indicating this image), you done got that out of a book, you did!
You'm a right cheat!"
and however much the others pointed out that he had watched me start with a blank sheet, he was not to be convinced!
If any of you want to go on with this pic either virtually in PS or on paper feel free, it makes for a very relaxing doodle. I shall one day finish the paper one and show you.

Wow you faced quite a challenge and got 4 out of 5 Andrea !
LOL !
Have to agree with NO. 5---" Ere Miss" it really does look like this came out of a book !
Kidding aside, excellent job and perfect choice for a group of guys that needed your attention Andrea.
Number 5 sounds familiar. We've got millions of them over here. "But you watched me do it!" "No, no I don't believe it." Your drawing looks as if it should be IN a book. This is exquisite.
So sharp, clean & colourful.
WOW LOVE THIS... Delightfully Wonderful Work,
you should publish a book of uncoloured drawings like this. I've several already and use liquid gel pens to fill them in. I'd love to have an uncoloured one for my collection..
Outstanding work Andrea. God bless.
Such fun! Thanks! :) I've done a fiddle with this, and posted it in my gallery. You can see it here:

I hope you enjoy what I did with it! :)
Great picture and a very interesting story behind it!
