This piece was inspired by coral. I had been diving in Honduras recently when I drew this and was trying to capture the uniqueness of the coral, especially the brain coral down there. I also like to do stuff like this to relax. The exactness and definition need concentration and it helps me to focus and relax. This was drawn on a piece of standard copy paper folded in half. I'm sure this is third or fourth attempt after a bunch or doodles that helped me get the look right. And led me to draw a bigger version.
Now this was actually drawn on the back of a piece of waterproof plasticized paper. A while back the Alaska Fisheries Observer program would issue you these for working on longline vessels. The front has a sample form printed on it but the back was left blank to do tally sampling and to make notes. It holds a pencil line very well and is awesome to draw on. And while digging through a pile of old doodle I found another piece of on waterproof paper
