| Welcome to ern's drawings page. It's the stuff I do when I am in the university: drawing lots of animals. On this page there are fish up and I'll try to scan some more of them. Maybe some of you find them interesting. I do. I also have an insects page in preparation... that just needs a little more work =). |
