Secret Place

After escaping from the animal testing laboratory, the rat has found new friends! A mazy bush forest hides many ponds and colorful fishes.

This was fun to do, I learned new things about my drawing process and how to add detail kinda quickly. Also this was the first time (I think) I created a color scheme before actually coloring the piece, and I've got to say that it works pretty well!

I started drawing this because I really wanted to paint clear water with cool fish in it. I've seen fairly often dreams about these clear ponds and awesome fish and many other creatures in them? And the cool thing about them is that they're not even in any tropical area, but like... in a forest pond in Finland. I'm probably going to draw about them more! There has been tiny aquarium like ponds and huge, deep water areas with huuuuge fish in them. 
These dreams have always been very nice and I've always liked them. I guess I just really like those kinds of things eheh, in real life I do get very excited even if I only see a tiny fish (or actually pretty much anything) in a lake or a river or whatever.
