The Narwhal part 5

A day with no other immediate tasks to be done, so I figured that meant studio time, which meant getting back to my narwhal block.   I decided that the whale itself if about done, so what remained to be worked out was the water.  I liked the way the horn showed up against a black background, so I decided I needed more of that.  Along the bottom I added to dark ink I had there and made a rocky ocean bottom, along with an abandoned anchor.  No room for a whole boat down below or on the surface.  I extended the dark area in the upper half, with what I intend as the bottom of a small iceberg above.  These things do live in Arctic waters and do swim under the ice.  I thought about maybe adding some fish (it's what they eat) but I would think that most fish would take off when they notice a whale coming their way.

So that's where I left off today, just more ink drawing. I'll wait and see if any other ideas develop before I begin cutting again.  All that currently unlinked space will not be as light as the cut parts of the whale in the final version.  The iceberg will be mostly light, but the water a deeper color.  It will be worked out.
