Draw a Cartoon Tropical Fish

Thursday January 22, 2009
Here's a fun little tropical fish to draw. It's a very cartoony fish - it started life with a reference photo somewhere and gradually became a figment of my imagination! You can have a marvelous time exploring the colors and patterns of real tropical fish like the ones in this Angelfish Photo Gallery.. They can be quite easy to draw - just look for the main simple shapes - often their bodies are clear ovals or quite rectangular, then add the patterns. Or let your imagination run wild inventing your own!

If you're into crafts, you might enjoy this Tropical Fish cross-stitch or crochet.

Just love tropical fish keeping – marines for me.
I have a coral reef of my own, a Red Sea 250 Max
