This is the reference photo I will be using. This photo comes from a member (Pcon) over at the best saltwater fish forum on the interwebs, Humble.Fish. This was the winning photo from a recent giveaway I held there.

Because this finished drawing will be going to the winner of that photo, I will be auctioning off a different painting during the livestream, this yellow tang in acrylics!

We all need to be reminded “Don’t drink the paint water”  and other fun artist sayings.
