Anglerfish Pencil Drawing
Hello Friends,
So besides the leafy sea dragon painting I am working on, I have also been working on this cool anglerfish. I checked out a book from the library that I’ve mentioned before called “Creatures of the Deep” by Erich Hoyt. The particular picture I am drawing from (not tracing) was taken by Norbert Wu and can be seen here:

I have always loved the uniqueness of these deep sea fish! I mean how awesome would it be to live in the darkest depths of the ocean but have a cool light attached to your head that never burns out? Pretty cool, I think. Although they look a little intimidating and scary, I still think they are amazing. But I guess it’s a good thing they aren’t swimming around the surface of the ocean where people swim.
I hope everyone is having a great weekend! I am almost done with my 8th writing assignment and am working on a couple of stories. So I have plenty to do along with my art.
Have a wonderful day, and give someone you love a big hug! 🙂

I think that’s why a lot of books refer to it as a “sea monster.” 😉
