When I drew Reef Shark I was spending a lot of time underwater on the Ningaloo Reef (North Western Australia) and every time I turned around one of this little guys seemed to be swimming nearby, begging to be drawn.
A few weeks later, a photo of one popped up on my Instagram feed which had been taken by a good friend of mine and it was perfect for a drawing. High contrast and beautiful shadows. So here we have it, a black tip reef shark in a drawing.
The drawing is drawn on the Arches 100% Cotton Rag Paper which is of the highest quality fine art paper money can buy. Pens used to draw this numerous thicknesses of UniPin pens layered over the top of one another in a scribble fashion.
Due to the fine art materials used, this artwork is of archival museum quality and will last for at least 100 years to come.
