For this fish I've chosen purple. The 'gradient' fill looks great used in the stripes, and I've used some solid yellow in between. To make the highlight, I used a large white airbrush set at a low opacity, then the same with a black airbrush to make shadows. I filled the background with a light blue-green and used a really huge airbrush to make some variations.
