" Small fish in a big pond "

I was sketching a birthday card, but the creative process took a turn and a small 3-panel comic strip was born.

 Background

I still don't have a drawing board or a computer to draw with. All I could find was copy paper and pencils. And my sister's son had a birthday coming up, so I thought I could quickly make a little electronic greeting card.

 I ended up continuing to draw on my phone, but I guess I got a little too excited

 Here's a little clip of the drawing process, at the end of which there's a 3-panel comic strip about the dangers of a small fish's life.

I'm a traditional artist and i don't draw digitally that often. For me it is painstakingly frustrating and slow way of constructing an image. I like to use koncreat things paints and canvas or recykled materials. I think digital draving is fustraiting for me because of the zooming bussibilytys, you cant zoom in a peace of paper.

I did some background research on great white sharks and hammerhead sharks and it turned out that the relationship between these species is not very warm. While listening to UMK, I remembered a Finnish Eurovision song about sleeping on a bomb. As I remember, it caused a lot of noise at the time because the rest of the world didn't really understand what "Nukkua pommiin" sleeping on a bomb meant? Well, that's a Finnish saying for when you're late because you didn't wake up to the sound of your alarm clock.

So I had finished that 3-panel strip. The horrible fate of the hammerhead shark in the belly of a great white shark was swirling in my mind. What kind of habitat might the little shark live in if it felt safe in the company of a great white shark? You can see the final result in the youtube link below.
