tidewaterfly 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2020 When I was a kid I drew a lot of flies on graph paper as I envisioned what I wanted to tie. Even did them with various colored pencils. I liked to draw back then. Have not done that in a very, very long time, but have seen some drawings that others have done more recently. It brought back good memories, and IMO, is a good means to help figure out fly patterns. Rich, my college major was architecture, and I could do mechanical drawing a lot better than free hand, art type drawings, but I think hard line drawings of flies cause them to lose some of the character. I would much rather see art forms than mechanical drawings, even of bass bags. I remember all the artwork for flies that used to be in magazines, such as Outdoor Life or Field & Stream, so I guess that has biased my opinion too.

I'm at work but will post pictures when I get home. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used to sketch flies in the margin of my notebooks to help keep me amused during class. I suppose I still do it sometimes "before a long meeting". Sometime I sketch furniture I would like to build too! Oh, and fish! : ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
