I actually really really like this piece and i am very happy with it. I had no idea what i wanted to do but after doing the sea turtles i realized how easy it is to do patterning in sea creatures and that just makes my job way more easier. So i started looking up pictures of super patterned fish and sea creatures and then i saw a picture of a lion fish and decided to draw it because i hadn't really done a whole lot of orange yet (this was before the beta fish piece) and i knew that i wanted to actually fully color the whole animal instead of shading parts with designs which i did with the other pieces which i think was overall more affect for this fish just because it stands out a whole lot more. After i drew the fish out i went over the whole outline of the shapes and body with black lightly so i could see what i was doing better. The hard part was figuring out next which parts were going to be black and white and what i was going to color orange. My favorite part of the fish is actually the tall just because i was really worried about doing the scales but after i colored them in and shaded around it i think that it turned out really well and i kind of wish i had incorporated that scaly pattern somewhere else in the fish as i love that part the most. Figuring out the background was a challenge just because the fish takes up most of the room on the page already and i had no idea what to put in there that wouldn't look to crowded and take away from the fish. I decided to do the stippled swirl looking waves that i do so much, which i hated after i started because i forgot how long stippling takes but i like how it turned out in the end and im very happy with this piece.
