Blow Fish

A painting of a blow fish i did with color pencils. Something in the line of the "Sem Terra" work. A slow-paced, gradual kind of painting, with the emphasis on detail in order to obtain the most photographic result possible out of the medium (wich isn't a very conventional one for hyperrealism). The surprising thing is after chosing the colors i would need for it i only used like 6 pencils to do it.
I'm not the biggest fan of this style, actually prefer a less rational, technicist and obsessive expression.
Although i strive to try all different kinds of approaches, and i'm pretty proud of the outcome on this one. I'm just sorry i didn't choose a better pose, this one is a bit awkward...
Anyway... let me know what you think!
