That leads to fishing and mastering a wide range of lures.” “I told him fishing was like an Etch A Sketch, no day on the water is ever the same, you have to erase thoughts of what worked yesterday a lot of times, and start with a fresh approach. “It all started when a guy asked me in a seminar how I became a ‘junk fisherman’,” explains Swindle, in reference to his reputation for fishing numerous lures in a day’s time. So stuck with Velcro to the underside of his Triton’s dry storage lid, is a wallet-sized, red-framed, Etch A Sketch toy with blue knobs that he turns to clear his mind about the past. And that can be a problem in a sport where success is largely played out between the ears. Beneath the boatloads of humor is a 43-year-old mind that thinks far deeper than his hilarious quotes on the weigh-in stage will ever reveal. What most don’t know is that Swindle is one of the most complex anglers that pro bass fishing has ever known. But instead, a means to erasing the past, forgetting about the bad, and focusing on the next step to success. Ironically, it has nothing to do with fun and games for bass fishing’s funniest pro.

That would have given them more detail, but the line thickness would be very thin.
Teams 3 and 4 are further back, and I decided to draw them at a smaller scale rather drawing them at the same size and shrinking them down later. Here are the final drawings for each team. | Comments (0) Soapbox Derby - Final Team Drawings
Chris decided he preferred a smoother line for the road rather than the grassy edge, so the final image will probably use that instead.Ĭhris will be colorizing the art, and you can see one sample of it now on the Dice Hate Me website here. This didn't include the finish line tape, but that will be added in later.
And here's my composite with all four teams and a track.
