Happy New Year! あけましておめでとうございます!!

According to the Asian calendar, 2010 is the year of the Tiger. The Japanese celebrate new years by sending their family and friends post cards decorated with tigers and other symbols of the new year.

Live Sketch

Dolphins are the most requested sea creatures at the aquarium.

There are a lot of requests for mermaids too, but I don't often get the chance to draw a merman.

As I mentioned before, babies and penguins are always a good combination.

Fish Drawing

Sometimes I just like to practice drawing fish. Working at an aquarium is the perfect place. This is a drawing of a Clown Fish. In Japanese it's pronounced Kakurekumanomi (カクレクマノミ). As you can imagine, it took a long time before I could remember how to say it. You also might recognize him as a famous movie star. ;o)
