This artwork is not AI imagined — its been drawn, pencil stroke by pencil stroke, from a series of many photos delivering the extraordinary complexity of nature’s best intent. The technique I created represents a six-week commitment to anatomical precision and colour fidelity and is delivered as a museum-quality, archival print that presents both the physical reality and mythic presence I felt seeing this wonderful creature. I united this technique with advice from a marine biologist and experienced fishing expert and writer. As a celebration of nature’s design, I have attempted to draw with reverence and intensity.
