Throwback To That One Time I Painted An Entire Crayfish And It May Have Been The Drawing I Ever Took

Throwback to that one time I painted an entire crayfish and it may have been the drawing I ever took the most time on. And then I never posted it.

So here you go, crayfish study painting + the ref pic I used.

I traced the picture and then freehand painted it by color picking from the ref pic. I mostly wanted to try and reproduce the textures, and also just have fun! It didn't need to be a 1:1 realistic reproduction, and in fact I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, I think it's really satisfying to look at.
