Do They Close Their Eyes When They Sleep?

When I was young, I keep wondering if a fish ever sleeps. Does it close its eyes? I can go on forever watching them on the aquarium and do not see any sign of sleep. They just keep still and I think that is how they sleep but the eyes are still open. What do you think?

Hello Draw A Day Community,

This is my version of the doodle provided by our challenge host @theithei. The reference drawing has some interesting shapes to it and I can't wait to get started. Here is that reference should you want to join.

I can see some options to turn this into something but the obvious choice would be a fish. I can see a tail and a fin forming in my imagination as I flip the image. Below I included the process photos:

When I flip the shape, this is the best angle that gives me the fish vibe. Could see it becoming a whale with a flat face.

Now that the idea is fix, time to do the line drawing so my ideas become concrete. The fins are looking great and the scales are helping define the image.

Here you can see the shadows and highlights I added to give life to the image. I did not change the color of the given reference drawing.

Can you see any other image? Why not give this Doodle Magic Drawing Challenge a try and let us see what you can create. Share your drawing under the Draw A Day community and feel free to interact with the members.
