Let’s draw and color fanciful fish today
Fish are kind of like flowers,
you really can’t make a mistake,
they come in all shapes and sizes,
especially when you’re making them up!
I searched for lobster art on Pinterest
and found 2 images I liked for inspiration
One is a metal wall hanging from Etsy {above}
And one is by Patricia Piffath {below}
Since I really wanted to just relax and have fun with this
I didn’t use a pencil, just a liner pen
Drawing anything is basically a process
of breaking your subject down into shapes
I started with the left lobster claw
and proceeded to draw the lobster shape by shape
I pinned a few colorful fish art photos that I used for reference
for drawing the other fish
I drew the fish shape by shape,
just like I did the lobster
To finish the scene I added sea grass and bubbles
You can download a free printable here if you want to color along with me
I’m using colored pencils today
Start with the lightest tones
Add layers of color to build depth
I used a light peach,
then a medium orange, and then a deep red orange
I used 2 shades of green for the grasses
Color the fish with any colors you want
To color the bubbles, color them only partially,
leaving a white highlight near the top of the bubbles
The finishing touch was a light coloring all over the page
with pale blue to indicate water
Fishy fun and now we’re done!
Be Fearless!
