[ wip ] Pipefish (Patreon)

I lied down to sleep, but suddenly I becomes a fish mood and I thought I should draw a pipefish. 

So I drew this all night long!

Sea horses and sea dragons are also pipe fish family.

When I was young, I thought they were not fish.

That's how amazing they look. 

If you look closely, you can see that they are fish.

• Rainbow belly pipefish, Winged pipefish, Halimeda ghost pipefish, Weedy sea dragon, Dwarf seahorse,
• Leafy sea dragon, Spiny seahorse, Yellow banded pipefish, Blue striped pipefish

I drew a sea horse and a sea dragon several times, but each time I used little different deformation. I made it more simpler and cute this time.

In 2018, I was only referring to real animals, and I freely drew colors or sizes.

For example, I painted blue or purple. 

I knew it was actually the blue light in the aquarium, and they are not that blue color. but..but..the blue color is pretty😂

After that, I have been trying to characterize the real species  more than before.

I think again and again about artistic imagination and balance between real animals.

I hope people can like my favorite animals too like me, so my art direction has changed little by little accordingly to this goal. 

What's certain is that every time I draw a new, it's a small challenge.

I'm going to draw more animals that I haven't drawn yet.

Thank you!
