Sunday Smiles and SITAR - Sea Pig

 


Sea Pig

So happy to see comments working again here!

I sketched a Sea Pig ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in watercolour pencil for you today based on the photo above.  They are deep sea creatures with tentacles around the mouth area.  The anus is at the back. It has no eyes, it senses things with its tube feet and tentacles.

I do find sea creatures some of the strangest and scariest looking. You know I love that. Great drawing of your sea pig. Thank you for sharing with SITAR.

Another unusual creature. Where on earth do you find them.
I see why they call it a pig. Your drawing is good likeness.

I have found that sea creatures are a great deal more unique and fascinating than land creatures. This is a great drawing and the sea pig is new to me.

Forgot to wish you a happy SITAR and Sunday Smiles.

Me too!!!! Nice to be chatting again :) This little creature is amazing. I have never seen anything like it before. So much we don't know and have yet to discover. Thanks for sharing about it Christine, and loved the art piece you made of it.
