This crazy "yeti crab" lives around boiling hot deep-sea hydrothermal vents.
Since I have access to super-fine pens and a microscope, I thought I'd see what it's like to make an extra-tiny rock illustration. Answer: it's fun!
I was going to fill in the background with pale green or blue, but was advised that it kind of looks like sand if I leave it natural. This is the first one (of four total) where I feel like I used the 3d shape of the stone and not just the "top" flat surface.
I'm mostly using marker and fine-liner pens for these.
I'm using a mix of different pens and markers, some of them seem to be dissolving the others. Much to learn!
