60-second sketch with a 2B pencil, with 3 minutes worth of painting on top.
Working this weekend to catch up on the film a bit.
Swam out to the kelp beds again today for the first time in a week or so. So creepy out there. Saw something new this time - long-legged crabs (between 2-8" diameter bodies) are climbing up the kelp. Maybe 1-2 crabs per twist of kelp on average. Most are holding onto the tangled braids of whiplike stalks, but sometimes a smaller one is perched right on top of the kelp ball.
What is up?
They weren't there before. Visibility is a lot lower right now because of higher water temperatures (= more algae), so maybe the crabs climb higher to follow their sun-loving prey up the kelp?
What the hell do crabs eat?
