      Hi everyone! It’s been a high anxiety day, so I’ve been getting into my ocean animal drawings. Marine biology illustration has been something I’m still looking at so I thought I’d try a snipe eel.

      What could I do to push the realism more?

            @lpetiti I actually thought your drawing WAS a photograph at first! I think it looks great.

              This is wonderfully done! You've nailed the lighting for sure. The only thing I could think to recommend is to try to pull in some of that scaly texture.

                  @lpetiti I agree. It looks so real! The texture is the only difference I can tell.
