So here I am again with that fiddler crab. This time I tried throwing a bunch of color at him. I used liquid acrylics, very wet, almost like water color only not transparent in the same way. I'm getting the proportion on the front claws. Still not there yet. The color needs a lot of work. He's got a lot of salmon in him, yeah well he would, what with being seafood and all.What I didn't paint was the enormous amounts of grey in the legs. I did try a bit of the coloring on the large claw. When I was done he was almost entirely without definition, so I took some pen and ink and gave him some shape. The markings on the head are going to be the very devil to get right. But tonight I gave him some eyes.
