Enjoy some Bluesky positive vibes (sound on👍) from these juvenile Lake Sturgeon @garlab.bsky.social!

I'm happy to be back. It's been a while.

Thank you ☺️

A work in progress illustration of an Opah (a type of fish). This fish is disc-shaped and silvery in color. The body has white spots and the fins are bright vermilion in color.

A bit more progress on my Opah illustration 🐡

A half finished latchhook rug of a fish.

Bit late for #SundayFishSketch (and not a sketch, and not finished), but it is (or will be, eventually) an Opah! But boy is it taking forever.

An Opah to celebrate 10 years of #SundayFishSketch

Happy Opah-versary #sundayfishsketch! The fish that started it all and headed into year 10.

A sketch of an opah with the text "Happy birthday Sunday Fish Sketch!"

Opa! Or should I say Opah! Celebrating 9 years of #SundayFishSketch and the community built by @lampichthys.bsky.social - here's to Year 10!

Watercolor and colored pencil drawing of an Opah in my sketchbook. It seems to ve in a party mood.

It's fun to celebrate the birthday of
#SundayFishSketch 🐡
with this Opah / Gotteslachs
(Lampris guttatus)
in its brilliant spotted partydress.

A digital sketch of an opah, a particularly round fish with polka dots.

#sundayfishsketch apparently it is Opah day.

Colored pencil drawing of an Opah fish. Think flat guy in roughly the shape of the first pancake of a batch (a little wonky), that’s mostly red with white spots

Pencil drawing of an Opah fish, still a pancake but no longer brightly colored.

So I did an opah back in August before I knew the yearly tradition, so here’s August’s colored version and then a quick and dirty pencil redo today! #SundayFishSketch

@behrenskristen.bsky.social told me about the theme today being Opah!!!! It's one of my favorite marine fish cause theyre kinda weird. Drawing I did for FAO a few years ago. #SundayFishSketch

An early #SundayFishSketch to celebrate this incredible #SciArt community created and inspired by @lampichthys.bsky.social! Happy Opah Sketchiversary to Rene, and cheers to everyone who's ever drawn a Sunday doodle. Here's to year 10 and to new art friends taking the plunge! 🦑🐡🧪

Photo of a watercolour painting showing an Opah with the word "Opah" underneath. Sideview - the fins are bright orange/red and the fish looks happy

for now - my Opah from 2021 #SundayFishSketch

Fish outline with colors showing temperature. This is a warm fish.

Heat map showing range of temperature on the Opah from 11 to 17 C.

For the Opah #SundayFishSketch, I was REALLY lazy! The Opah is a hot fish and this is a heat map showing that heat.

A line sketch of an Opah fish. This fish is disc-shaped, with a deep body. The eye is large and round, and the mouth is almost beak-like in shape. The pectoral and pelvic fins are long. The tail is forked.

It's been a while, but I sketched out an Opah for today's #SundayFishSketch 🐡

Congratulations!!!!

1/2) Is that time of year again #Sundayfishsketch friends! This weekend marks the end of our 9th year of sketches! As we move into year 10, our annual #Fishytheme is to draw on Opah (the first fish sketch), to appreciate improvements made while practicing throughout the year. #sciart 🦑

Rolling into the weekend it is time for the #SundayFishSketch #Fishytheme. Continuing our @lizlagomorph.bsky.social #SciartSeptember themes, 'Reef' is the prompt for this Sunday! There are thousands of reef fishes to choose from, and I can't wait to see all the colorful illustrations! #Sciart 🦑

An off-theme river chub for this week's #SundayFishSketch

#SundayFishSketch sorry for my long absence. No fishy puzzles recently. This one is a donation for the upcoming North American Sturgeon and Paddlefish conference. My best attempt at a shovelnose sturgeon. A gift from @amfisheriessoc.bsky.social

Ink and watercolor sketch of a brown fish with a single barbel. It's delicious!

For the boreal theme of #sciartseptember and #SundayFishSketch, a burbot! This freshwater cod species is found from the #GreatLakes and Midwest north to the boreal regions.

Horizontal photo of a crayon sketch of a bleak, which looks like every other minnow you've ever seen

I'm half joking here but at some point all cyprinids* look the same 😆 Here's Alburnus alburnus — the bleak / salakka / löja / laue / løje — for #SundayFishSketch x #SciArtSeptember #Boreal theme. 🐡🦑🧪 Day 7/30

Colored pencil drawing of a brook trout. He’s mostly olive green with yellow spots and a reddish-orange underbelly

For “boreal” I picked the brook trout, which is a throwback to my freshman year of undergrad when we did labs on headwater streams. Tree cover keeps stream temps in the preferred range for these guys #SundayFishSketch #SciArtSeptember

On the easel- Flying Fish. #SundayFishSketch #SciArt

Digital sketch of a manta ray

Manta ray for #sundayfishsketch I’m still diving in Indonesia, so this is digital. #sciart #coralreefs #marinelife #oceanconservation

A mixed media illustration of a walleye fish, shown from the head to the mid body. The fish is coloured in brown and gold tones and the background is maroon red.

#SundayFishSketch + #SciArtSeptember Day 7: Boreal
Walleye are a common fish in the waterways of the boreal forest.

watercolour painting of a cleaner wrasse and a fairy wrasse on white background. The cleaner wrasse has its head under the head of the fairy wrasse. They both are pointing toward each other. The cleaner wrasse is white/blue-ish with a long black horizontal stripe. The fairy wrasse is much bigger and has all the colours of the rainbow, starting with a reddish pink at the head followed by yellow, green and ending in purple blue at the fin.

#Sundayfishsketch 🐡

Finally finished those two 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Cleaner wrasses can change frome female to male, and fairy wrasses are just swimming rainbows.

A watercolor painting of an Arctic Char fish facing to the left of the page in orange and blue. The orange is mostly on the top and the blue is mostly on the bottom.

An arctic char for the #SciArtSeptember Borealis theme and a late #SundayFishSketch. I tried an experiment where I painted with only two colors.
