This redfish was illustrated entirely by hand using Prismacolor colored pencils, layer by layer to capture the species’ signature look. From the burnt copper back to the pearl-toned belly and that iconic black spot on the tail, every detail is drawn with intention and accuracy.
The subtle transitions of orange, bronze, and silvery blue reflect the redfish’s coastal habitat—and bring a powerful, lifelike presence to the piece. A tribute to the salt, the flats, and the fish that define them.
