Sai Kung Fish Market

Since early 90's I have made quite a few fish market scenes but this one has the most varieties with many different sea 'creatures'. Preparation of the four tutorial items for the advanced level learners cost more time than I anticipated therefore this scene was finished in a hurry omitting a few details like floor-tiling, lightings etc., fortunately I was glad to meet the three-month deadline and got it published. I will still add more things to it in the very near future to make it a complete scene.

Tutorial: Making a Pacific Octopus

This was included in a pamphlet for the 46th Hong Kong Brands and Products Expo.
