HE LOOKS YUMMY!

"OK, OK, I'll sketch you guys next, I'd said lightly to the carp at Corner Cove, when they'd complained I'd sketched only the mallards." so I felt I had to draw them even if I don't feel I draw carp very well. They always turn out looking funny, I think. The image I have in my mind is so different from what I end up with. That's usually the case in my drawings, but moreso with carp than with other animals, it seems. And carp usually swim in the same place in the same poses, so it's hard to cover up bad drawings.

I began to sketch three carp at Lower Bridge when Peter the Kawasemi came and hovered right behind them. It would definitely make the picture more interesting, I thought, and added him to the back. But I wondered later if the picture looked like what my sister told me, that the carp just wanted him for dinner!
