This greenback cutthroat trout was brought to life entirely by hand using Prismacolor colored pencils. Each scale, spot, and subtle color transition was layered with precision to capture the fish’s iconic look—olive green back, fiery red throat slash, and gold-flanked body dotted with bold black spots.
The result is a rich, textured illustration that honors the vibrant beauty of this native species. No stencils, no shortcuts—just hours of careful craftsmanship and a deep respect for wild trout.
