Thinking about an old aquarium


I used to raise tropical fish and had at one time 3 tanks around the house. For about a year I worked in a store that had a fish department and I did all the selling, maintenance, and ordering stock. I haven't raised fish in some time and every once in a while I think I might like to get another tank. For the time being I have done a journal entry about aquariums in ink and color pencil.

Fun ...wish i could show it to my kindergartners...they are studying fish and would love this! They are in to all things fishy right now...even if they have to view it on the computer

These are nice -- I really like the neon tetras -- I had some of those waaay back... but aquarium maintenance is not for me.

I also like your aviation sketches. I like the way you group several sketches on the page together; this is one of my favorite ways to see sketches, and yet I haven't tried it yet. Soon...

how about some oscars? fun to draw and fun to raise though your neons would be lunch! Plecostemous would be fun to draw! Nice sketches Alan!
