Work in Progress: DR Bubbles & Anak Ikan - Part 2

Here are some more Anak Ikan sketches.

Uh-oh, I think I just came up with another character. Unlike the previous character sketches, this new one seemed to have its eyes to pop up a bit. And probably has a more kid/child attitude. It looked like a goldfish - with big eyes and a more elaborate fins. Hmmm... maybe I should make this one a girl (most of the other characters in the series are boys come to think of it).

Penceritaan yang padat bukanlah tulisan yang telah dirumus, tetapi terhasil daripada pilihan apa yang perlu dicerita.

"Brevity doesn’t come from compression, but from selection." Mantra ini disebut-sebut dalam buku 55 Tools Roy Peter Clark, dan diulang lagi dalam bukunya yang bertajuk Murder Your Darlings.
