I Challenged Myself To Add One Character A Day To This Fish Drawing For 30 Days Until I Got This Result

ADVERTISEMENT

Two months ago I created an advent picture, it was the second time I attempted this style of art. It was so well received being copied and shared across the world my words translated into many languages. I was so happy to see so many people appreciate my work I decided to once again create an advent picture. Second time, I started with a bear and here’s how it looked at the end.

I followed these rules in the creation of this piece.

1. I needed to draw something new each day

2. It needed to be every day

3. The drawing would focus on a single theme.

I hope you all enjoy this picture as much as the last one.

More info: Facebook

Day 1 – Fish

Day 2 – Treasure-pus

Day 3 – Bear fish. I think if this becomes a series I will always include a bear in the picture. This bear fish is a nod to my other drawing also on this site

Day 4 – Cavern town

ADVERTISEMENT

Day 5 – Poisons for sale from Angler eddie

Day 6 – This statue is to commemorate some of my friend in an event that happened during a game of D & D

ADVERTISEMENT

Day 7 – Sunken ship

Day 8 – The depths

ADVERTISEMENT

Day 9 – Pirate ghosts are lost

Day 10 – Someone is scared!

Day 11 – What can frighten a shark?

Day 12 – A horde of angry vengeful sea animals of course. I tried to shape the many animals into a giant fish leaving a spot in top for an eye

Day 13 – Exploration

Day 14 – Self-portrait and why am I freaking out?

Day 15 – The Narwhal punctured the tube!!

Day 16 – Whale has a booboo

Day 17 – The sea turtle has a concussion

Day 18 – This sea captain is irate hope someone has insurance

Day 19 – The castaway is a few coconuts short to help with the damage

Day 20 – Lion fish

Day 21 – Giant crab

ADVERTISEMENT

Day 22 – Giant clam

Day 23 – Mysterious sea animal

Day 24 – This is where the mermaids are

Day 25 – Sea lion

Day 26 – Dolphin is looking to catch a flying fish

Day 27 – Not if seagull has something to do about it though

Day 28 – giant squid is a contender to king of the depths

Day 29 – A few more star additions

ADVERTISEMENT

Day 30 – Who should rule over this world but the god Neptune

Thanks for sharing, and yeah I did know it like many of us I had a fondness of learning about mythical creatures and various gods and deities. I was thinking to say Poseidon but the name Neptune kept coming back to me. Thanks for your kind words.

Finding space to add more content into an imaginary world come to life has to be one of the most fun parts of being an illustrator. I remember I loved adding loads of detail into a large fantasy like setting when I drew whatever came to me at the time. This takes me back! Good work!

I used to have an art professor from Alaska that would do this to his images except he would work on about 30 images at a time. Every day he would add a new aspect to each page in his journal, until the entire page was filled. It was amazing to watch him work.

I tried to draw a few times. My brain just can’t control my hand enough. I admire folks with this talent. Thanks so much for sharing your gift, and I just love how you did something everyday for a month and ended with a beautiful themed piece of art. ❤️

Thanks to each their own I guess though. I always wanted a giant big something to lord over the picture and what better to lord over something than a god. I maybe could of added more a blur to Neptune though to make it even more in the background.

I don't just love this very intricate creative piece, but also the revelation of the process you went through each day to create it. It made me appreciate every bit of the piece more than if I had seen the completed product at once.

I love how everyone is grumpy or fighting and also how they badly need some control that you introduced at the end. Great job☺

There is a girl on Twitter that draws a Wonder Woman picture every day. WW is always a cut out, but she has put WW into different situations, movies, and TV-shows. She is going to do this for 365 days and are now past 200 (and something... )
