Hi. My fly pattern photography is still in the "beginning amateur" stage, so what I do is illustrate my patterns posed in the vice using colored pencil. Here attached is a recent example --

Wow that is nice picture! Are you a professional by any chance or at least have any of your drawings published in any magazines?

Ship,

Read his post in the reader's corner. It has a link to his site with his books and sketches.

Sorry ron, you can answer if you want. Just figured I'd help out.

JayL,
Where did my name come from?

Mkern,

No idea. I'm exhausted. Time for a walk and some fresh air. I think I'm losing my mind.

It's all those late night posts on this site. You should be getting a full 8 hours of sleep -- your a growning boy.

I only need to get more sleep when the alarm starts going off in the morning.

Hi. Thanks for the thumbs up . . .

Most (if not) all fishing mags focus on fly pattern photos. I hope to one day put out a book of fly patterns with tying directions all illustrated with these kind of drawings. One book out there already is Jack Pangburn's great Deer-Hair Fly-Tying Guidebook:

He is a real artist: both as an illustrater and as a fly tier!
