Experiment
I am not into drawing from imagination, but had been confined to home for a few days, so gave it a try. 

This sketch was a mix of impressions left after viewing Ohn Mar Win's Sketchbook Skool class and listening to the Areopagus podcast interview of actor Jonathan Jackson. It turned into a bit of pattern play.

Ohn Mar's sketchbooks contain several pages of depictions of sea animals.
In one of her demos, she lets shades of blue and green watercolor mingle to form a background, then layers an abstract design over it, using blue and white Posca markers.

Father Andrew Damick, one of the podcast interviewers, appears to keep an aquarium in his office. (Patience as an attribute of love surfaced during the Jackson interview.)

My white gel pens had been in various stages of drying out; this was partly an exercise in trying different methods to revive them. I used a few colors of Staedtler triplus fineliners, for the aquatic plants and jellyfish.
