Default Third 2 sided fish

Third 2 sided fish made. This one kicked my butt some. Probably should have thrown it in the trash half way through. Not satisfied with the quality but the point of this one was the reverse.

Looks pretty good. The quality is secondary, the experience you got from it is primary. Looking at videos only gets you the basics, making an actual item is where all the learning takes place.
Good for you next time you can shoot for better quality. Reverses are a challenge and can be confusing

Practice is what it takes.
