Plotted drawing of fish at different depths, drawn on A2 paper using vertical lines, and a blue Pilot rollerball pen

This picture of a school of fish was drawn using 425 vertical lines on five layers. The fish are white objects that are placed above of below a specified number of layers to allow more or fewer vertical lines to tun through them. The more lines that run through them, the deeper in the water they appear to be.

Hello. Nik here. Thanks for visiting. Would you like to get in touch? If so, you can send me an email by addressing it to my first name at this domain. I'm sure you can work out what that means. I'd rather not put my details online in plain text for obvious reasons.
